Author Colm O'Dowd provided an e-copy of Northfighters: The View From the Crystallis for review.
This is a great mix; think The Time Tunnel meets Arthurian legend. We have a group of kids (not all friends) who travel to a sword and sorcery land where they are part of a grand prophesy.
Talk about a fish out of water, we have kids from our time meeting up with warriors of mythic times. The kids are as out of place in their new setting as the warriors are being suddenly tasked with caring for and helping kids they just don't understand.
Great mythological beasts, blood and guts warriors who still have humorous side. An evil person set on world domination and a unique set of rules to follow. Awesome fantasy, I loved it. World building extends to a few different worlds and the author balances them beautifully. Nothing but praise for this one. It is what I read fantasy for; a good action packed adventure. Enjoy!
