Customer Reviews

Exciting and Accessible Science Fiction for Teens

Finding good science fiction for younger teens, or tweens, can be tough going. Books tend to either be too graphic and frightening or too "young" and boring. The First Battle of Morn strikes just the right balance between being exciting and accessible for younger teens, while also being "parent friendly." A great read for younger teen and tweens looking for exciting science fiction!

This book will surprise the unsurprisable

At first glance this is standard YA fantasy fare, and it will somewhat live up to that expectation. But past that, its really a great story. The characters are quite believable, and the writing style has a truly unique flavor, like the fudge ribbon in really good fudge ripple ice cream. Invest the $2 if you can find a used copy, i guarantee you wont regret it. My only regret is that Ms Moulton never wrote anything else. First battle is a truly illuminary first novel and should have been announcing a stunningly original new voice in fantasy literature. Oh Debra Moulton, where are you now?
