The Iron-Jawed Boy (The Guardians of Illyria #1)
First of all I have to thank Nikolas Lee for giving me a free copy to read! And I have to apologize for not reading it more quicker. I do regret it now for not reading the book as soon as i got it.A Fantastic book!! I really loved that the book was centered on and about gods and how Ion was descriptive about the things he see and also about himself. And a very good twist at the end!(A VERY GOOD ONE) OHH and the characters! i really loved what Nikolas Lee has done to the characters and how they
So, I finished this book in a day. A DAY PEOPLE! The pacing was amazing. And the fight scenes were...AMAZING TOO!I really liked Ion's voice and the internal struggles he had going on throughout the book. And Solara was creepy as fudge!Really wished I could have seen more of Theo and Lillian, but I was all-around really really REALLY happy with this middle grade novel!
The book fulfilled all of my expectations in being the amazing middle grade novel that I anticipated. As a future teacher, you can bet that my students will see this book. The vocabulary is advanced for some middle grade students but the story is captivating enough to draw any reader in. It's a great book both in terms of a learning tool in the classroom (building vocabulary, imagery, characterization, foreshadowing, symbolism, chronology, cause and effect... the possibilities are endless) as
I honestly can't believe this is Nikolas Lee's first novel. His main characters, especially Ion, are so well developed. With a completely original concept, this novel was a real page turner. Definitely recommending to all of my reader friends! The ending was..... Incredible and shocking.
I received this book from the author for a honest review.When I read the synopsis about this book I was intrigued, and knew I just had to read it. I was so happy that the book actually turned out as good as I thought it would. Where as so many other books turn out to be a disappointment. I had such a hard time putting it down it definitely is a page turner. I kept telling myself just one more chapter the bed, but it ended up being hours later without me realizing it. Ion is a caller who turned
I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.I was quite surprised with this book as I did enjoy it very much. I absolutely loved the scene of Ion and Spike's fight and the final battle, which reminded me of Harry Potter a little bit. Also, I loved the the last line in the book, although I did think about that at one point with the way that some of the characters were behaving. Overall, I loved it. And now I'm looking forward to reading the next in the series. Thank you to

Discount Boxed Set: http://www.amazon.com/Guardians-Illyr... *LONDON BOOK FESTIVAL HONORARY MENTION* Year 2300 Protea: Capitol of the Eldanarian Isle Two hundred years have passed since the lands of the Outerworld humans were destroyed, save but a handful of rebellious cities. In their ruin, the last gods of Earth, the Illyrians, rose victorious. And ever since, it's with a cruel iron fist they've ruled over their subjects--desperate to keep their thrones. Fast approaching his teens, Ionikus Reaves knows the gods' malevolence all too well, orphaned by them after their call for a military draft on Eldanar, his home island. But when a power once dormant in Ion boils to the surface, he's whisked off to a hidden world of the island, where he comes face-to-face with the mighty Illyrians. For Ion is a Guardian--a reincarnated god bound to serve and protect the pantheon he's so quickly learned to hate. Now torn between his obligations as a Guardian and his hatred of the gods he's to guard, Ion finds himself in the middle of a war within himself. A war that could uncover a dark secret of the gods'...and split the pantheon in two.Itemize Books In Favor Of The Iron-Jawed Boy (The Guardians of Illyria #1)

I received a PDF version of The Iron-Jawed Boy from the authorfor a Honest review.The book started out with Ion who was torn from his family due to detainment and sold into slavery.He had a Iron jaw put on him from his father. He was treated poorly and laughed at because of his Iron Jaw. As the story goes on the pace speeds up but it is easy to understand and very detailed. I honestly could not put this book down even with my youngest son climbing on me. I can not wait to read more from NikolasFirst of all I have to thank Nikolas Lee for giving me a free copy to read!
