Customer Reviews

Not what you might expect...

This fast-paced adventure gives everyone a character to relate to. Not only is it a clever story with unique characters and clever twists, it also seamlessly incorporates deeper ideas like discrimination, sacrifice, and overcoming traditional barriers. The great thing is that the author weaves these themes in so naturally, you walk away from the book with plenty to think about and keep you amused without feeling at all preached at. As a college student, I am somewhat in the habit of studying and analyzing what I read. This series thrives no matter from what angle it is read from. I enjoy these books as much as I did when I first picked them up for something fun to read years ago. "Talis Hunters" is a grand adventure that does honor to the term imaginative!

In addition to the action, intrigue, and adventure in the fast moving plot, Mike Hamel provides the reader with teaching on the importance of integrity, truthfulness, faith, justice, trust, and dedicated service.
