House of Power
House of Power | Patrick Carman
2 posts | 6 read | 1 to read
Edgar, a gifted climber, secretly scales the treacherous walls separating the three worlds of Atherton: the humble grove that is his home...a mysterious highland realm of untold beauty and sinister secrets ...and a vast wasteland below, where a monstrous danger lurks that could destroy them all. While searching the forbidden cliffs for a treasure lost in his faded memory, Edgar discovers the first of many startling revelations to come: the three realms are beginning to collapse, turning his entire world inside out. Atherton is not what it seems, but something far more dangerous, with a history locked inside the mind of a madman and a future beyond Edgar's wildest imagining.

Mehso-so

Not a bad read. Geared toward the younger end of the YA spectrum. The story is fairly interesting and the characters are well developed. The only thing stoping me from throwing up the horns for the rating is some of the over-explanation that the author frequently goes into. However that is pretty much my only complaint. If you decide to read this though please know that it is the first of a trilogy and does not work as a stand alone title.

Great trilogy about perseverance. Quite a political book. Good one for kids to read to understand politics, classes, and how difficult it can be to play out the Hero's journey. Patrick Carman is a fantastic author to read about strong characters who go against societal norms to evoke change!
