Ahren: The 13th Paladin (Volume I) Paperback – Import, 9 December 2018

A young boy gets adopted by a forest guardian. Then follows a vivid description of life and learning in the forest. There are also monsters. Finally his destiny is revealed but to fulfill it he will need to go on long perilous journeys. Exciting read! Strongly recommend.

Bare bones story, sketchy characters poorly handled interactions but story seems interesting.

Beautifully written and the story is awesome. Descriptive and fast paced, it is a most enjoyable read. Recomended for everyone.

A very positive book. I would recommend my children to be as keen to improve as Ahren.keep up good work

I loved the characters. The narration is great and the twists are enjoyable. I can’t wait to read the next book!

the story is great. especially the part where a boy is saved from bullies and drunken father . can't wait to read the next book

It hit the average mark for me if only just barely, it's below average if in most regards honestly, further into the series the story gets better for a while then it worsens consistently , the characters are stupid despite being old, there is a consistent theme of females being better than males and being given more leeway, the characters develop only for that development to deviate jarringly or be destroyed in the 6th installment of the series.Overall I would not suggest getting into the series as the overall story progressively gets worse rather than better.

I love books about ranger type characters, and this is a great example of them.Its suitable for young adults, without feeling too childish for me to read.Great plot and mechanics.I like the amount if magic, and how its implemented, such as why it cant be the cure all solution to every problem. That seems to be more common than I'd think.The characters all have depth, and the protagonist is doing some great developing.Him learning things slowly is letting us learn about his world at an appropriate pace, with few exceptions. An example would be finding out about Culhan's saliva a full two years after his introduction..There are grammatical typos, maybe as many as five?I think that a character had three horns initially, then it said teo during their last big fight of the book.(Trying to help without giving spoilers)I don't know why the main never thinks to carry or use an axe, nor has he mentioned using one ever, except maybe to test out a weapon? Strange for a woodsman? That's okay though. Works out later.All in all though, its a very enjoyable,well written book. I'll be buying the sequel immediately.

This was a great start to a series. I couldn't put the book down and read it in a day. Will be moving to the next one immediately.

I really enjoyed this first book. It flows at a good pace and kept me interested and involved. The characters are strong and evolving, I'm looking forward to the next book

This is an interesting story with very likable characters that entices you to keep reading. I am looking forward to the next book so as to continue following this wonderful adventure.

This was a fun read and I plan to follow Ahren and his companions in the next one. Can't wait to get started.
