The epic first book of "Wars of the Realm" captivates you from the very beginning.
Chuck Black, manages to bring you into a wonderful story, before it even gets interesting. But when it gets interesting, it gets INTERESTING! Glimpsing into spiritual warfare, he takes you on the journey of Drew Carter. A teen who lost his father, and because of a mysterious invention's destruction, loses his sight. But soon Drew is thrown into adventure sure to excite and left at a cliff hanger sure to bring you to the next book. The story and plot are wonderfully captivating, while the action scenes are literally out of this world. The characters are developed fully and are captivating.
But this book is a bit intense and a little violent with many spiritual battles, so I would put a age range of 11+. But other than that, this is a great start to one of my favorite book series, So I give it a 9.0
