I am not typically one for historical fiction since sometimes the telling of a story can get booked down in the preservation of historical facts. For that reason, it took me a few extra pages to get into this story. However, once I did, I thoroughly enjoyed it! The author does a great job of creating characters that the reader can relate to on a number of different levels. Within this he does a good job of weaving in the emotional aspects of youth coming to understand the concept of love and how that affects a sense of self. Combine that with an interesting supernatural storyline and this was a hit. Very enjoyable! (  ) dmerrell | Feb 17, 2015 |
 A fantastic world, rich with detail and political intrigue–I absolutely loved this novel. A marriage of equality among fantasy, mythology, action and same-sex romance. (Fantasy. 14 & up) Wham, Bam, Thank You Dam! From the first line, we’re thrown into a mystery. The missing boys plot is just one of the many engaging parts in the book. There’s also a war taking place, a sacrificial ritual being brought back, and many more subplots that keep each chapter fresh. Is een proloog (buiten de reeks) op
Atlantis is besieged by violent storms, tremors, and a barbarian army. For sixteen-year-old Aerander, it's a calamitous backdrop to his Panegyris, where boys are feted for their passage to manhood. Amid a secret web of romances among the celebrants, Aerander's cousin Dam goes missing with two boys. With the kingdom in crisis, no one suspects the High Priest Zazamoukh, though Aerander uncovers a conspiracy to barter boys for dark spiritual power. Aerander's proof-- an underground vault that disappears in the morning--brings shame on his family and charges of lunacy. The only way for Aerander to regain his honor is to prove what really happened to the missing boys. Tracking Dam leads Aerander on a terrifying and fantastical journey. He spots a star that hasn't been seen for centuries. He uncovers a legend about an ancient race of men who hid below the earth. And traveling to an underground world, he learns about matters even more urgent than the missing boys. The world aboveground is changing, and he will have to clear a path for the kingdom's survival.

Aerander is involved in a love affair with a boy from another royal house. It's accepted when boys are young, but the expectation is they will eventually marry a woman and father heirs. But for Aerander this is no youthful experimentation, this is the way he wishes to lead his life, even though his father disapproves. On top of that, when Aerander's accusations about the missing boys are disbelieved as fantasy, he brings shame on himself and his house. Desperate to fix things, and to find and save his friends, he embarks on a quest that takes him to the very beginning--and ending--of Atlantis.
I was fascinated by this story. I fell into it and didn't want to leave. Aerander was a great character and a great hero.
