Russell Moon

I bought this as an ebook from Fictionwise, and annoyingly found it was number two in a series (and misdescribed too). However, having read it, I feel no great compulsion to go back and read book one.

It would be hard to find this story's niche. The language - whilst not terrible - is strong enough in places to make this a young adult rather than a children's book, but the story was simplistic - almost turgid. Basically the protagonist is an 18 year old lad who has discovered he is secretly a witch prince. His mother has been kidnapped and he has a lot to learn about his father.

Maybe it was that I had not started this series at the beginning, but it really did not captivate me in the slightest. The celtic connection was tenuous, and the overall concept was unconvincing.… (meer)
