In book one, The
Summoned King, Jim Young is
catapulted into a medieval style of world that is in need of a new king. The idealism and enthusiasm of the teen age
king from the first book is somewhat diminished. Nevertheless the author holds to his vision
by illustrating the impulsive and sometimes reckless side of a teenager.
Jim faces his foes and demonstrates compassion and
restraint, in spite of the occasional surges of anger and frustration. This book introduces a dragon to the cast of
characters. There is mild violence and
the author adds the addition of pregnancy and the ensuing responsibilities to
leaven the plot.
I will mention again that Christianity is brought up as a
factor in Jim's identity but there is no proselytization involved.
I recommend the book and look forward to the sequel.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
