The book is an epic tale of adventure, action and fantasy with some amazing inventiveness all swirled round. Curtis Jobling is an excellent choice, in my opinion, to bring the eclectic warriors to life he has done a fantastic job-ling. World of Warriors started out as a mobile adventure and combat strategy game, with the possibility of looking towards a series to complement the brilliant story behind the addictive game. I would definitely give this book a solid recommendation for anyone who loves a well plotted adventure that will transport you into a world of secrets, which is full of conspiracy and action. It also explores themes of astr onomy, botany and most of all chemistry. It's very exciting the setting is very engrossing and encapsulates this time period very well.The characters feel real, fun and very likeable which is a massive achievement. It's magical, full of action, pranks and has a playful heart. This book ticks a lot of boxes that will leave everyone with a good feeling about this book.
It might have added a new dimension and additional depth if one the characters had been an action female. The only negative element that I have to mention relates to the main characters. I really liked this - it is a strong point of the book! However, parts of the story are very descriptive and slightly graphic, so use caution if you're a parent buying this book for a child as it might be too graphic for them to handle. The author has a great flair and an original way of disposing of some of the characters, which makes it engaging with a no nonsense attitude. You will find yourself prowling through the dangerous streets of London in search of whispers and hidden truths. The story has a fantastic blend of mystery, violence and danger. It's really engaging and easy to read with a a narrative that will sweep you off your fantasy feet. It's an insight into a little time capsule of an era that has changed dramatically in comparison to now. In my opinion, it has all been very well researched and thought out.
The historical touch feels period and is believable of the time. You will find yourself hurtling through this high octane fuelled plot as you uncover and foil some nasty conspiracies. The story is highly interactive with codes to crack and secret doors to open or perhaps even close. The hero of the day is Christopher Rowe, a clever young boy with a mischievous heart, who is apprenticed as an apothecary to Master Benedict Blackthorn. It is a book born out of pure dreaming a fantastic page turner set among the apothecaries and secret alchemists of London in 1665. This is a global debut novel that every imaginative young boy/girl will love to read. It's time to set the course of your fantasy compass to this epic middle grade adventure written by Kevin Sands.
The race is on for Christopher: crack the code and uncover its secret, or become the next victim.
