My Review
Wind Warrior by Jon MessengerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
3 Platypires for Wind Warrior by Jon Messenger
I was really looking forward to reading Wind Warrior. I think the cover is amazing and it was really what grabbed me. What I was not expecting was that it read like a middle grade book. The whole time I kept thinking of Percy Jackson and Bobby Pendragon yet this novel is for adults. Xander is a 20 year old college student living at home and having nothing much going for him till he develops a super power. The writing was pretty simple which even though Xander is a 20 year old man , I kept think he was a young teenager. I think I had real trouble picturing him as older.
Now as for the story, I thought it was pretty good. It kept me pretty interested and it was really quick read. The story was really fact paced and I sorta wish there was more development in the back story. Here's hoping more is revealed in the upcoming novels.
Overall , I liked Wind Warrior and plan on reading the next book in the series.
