For starters, thank you, lovely readers, for visiting my blog and taking your time to read today's post which is dedicated to the new novel, The Six by KB Hoyle, coming out on April 5th. I was lucky to be part of The Six Blog Tour organised by The Writer's Coffee Shop.

I'm guessing that first you'd like to know what The Six is about. Well, here's summary:

Darcy Pennington hates her life. She is an insufferably average teenager with no real friends, crushing social anxiety, and an indescribable sense of not fitting in anywhere. A change in her dad’s job forces her to attend Cedar Cove Family Camp the summer before her eighth-grade year, and Darcy once again finds herself on the outside of a social circle of teenagers, with her only advocate being an awkward girl named Samantha Palm. The only problem is, Darcy has no desire to be friends with her, but as the hostility from the other teenagers increases, she decides to return the friendship.
When Darcy begins to experience strange magical occurrences, she comes to believe she’s either losing her mind or on the brink of a discovery that could give her purpose in life. After unwittingly stumbling through a magical gateway to a new world called Alitheia, she convinces Sam and the other four teenagers to travel there with her, and despite their earlier hostilities toward her, they eventually concede leadership of their small group to Darcy. Once there, they learn the “arrival of the Six” was prophesied hundreds of years before, and that they must expel an ancient evil from the land. In the end their lives, and the fate of Alitheia, will hinge upon Darcy. Will she have what it takes to fulfill her mysterious purpose? Or will she fall prey to a deadly foe?

It's obvious that this is a book for younger readers - main characters are 13 and 14 years old, but I assure you - even older readers will enjoy it. Think of Harry Potter! Or yourself as a child!
I remember that I liked "to explore" small woods behind house where I used to live with my younger sister. My mother dreaded those "expeditions" - more than often we used to come back with scars, bruises, torn clothes and tangled hair full of leaves, bugs and who know what else. Trophies were the best part. We believed that they were gifts from "wood's people". Oh, yeah! You heard me right! I was totally crazy. We searched for gnomes, leprechauns, wizards, ghosts, unicorns, Liliputians, faeries, Peter Pan, Excalibur, Lady of the Lake and "souls of the trees". But those are the happiest memories of my childhood. When you get older, you start to forget lots of things - I have to admit I forgot. But than I took this book in my hands and it all came back. I couldn't stop smiling and I kept imagining all the characters in the novel as my friends and myself.
Thing is The Six is the story made out of this kind of memories - KB Hoyle said it herself:

"I was inspired to write The Gateway Chronicles by my childhood camp experiences. The Six, as the first in the series, sprang out of this desire to translate my camp memories into a fantasy story for teenagers that combines the classic magical transportation to another world with modern teenage lingo and realism. In doing this, I've been able to create something new out of something old, and not only pay homage to my favorite childhood haunt, but also to my favorite genre of literature. The Six is the beginning of a larger story that young people can grow along with and love!"

I thought this book was well written and fun, but I had some significant issues with it. The main problem for me was that while I found the adventure engaging and fun and characters, especially Darcy to be pretty well drawn, I felt that book resembled Narnia way too much for my taste. I have not read the reviews before I finished the book, so I had no idea that author called her book "Narnia meets Harry Potter" and I did not go into this story looking for any of those books remakes, just to be clear. Before you ask, of course there are bound to be similarities in the books where kids go on magical adventure in the unknown world, but I am sorry, there were too many plot elements which I felt were too similar. Of course the book is not Narnia, but the mysterious God also oversees it and while religious metaphor is not as heavily handed as in Narnia, I still disliked that.

And kids are also getting specific gifts which also magnify their abilities which are of course not magical abilities (because of course we cannot have kids practicing real magic without having their God given permission first), but the abilities given to them by that God.

For some reason for me the most "in my face" reminder of Narnia was that they also have high and low animals. And I also felt that one of the important plot turns was too much of "Edmund and White witch" redux.

I want to be clear, I do not feel that the book is an exact copy of Narnia (which as you probably understood by now I cannot stand),but I do feel that similarities in the set up and some plot twists are substantial. I did not care for those similarities at all, I also worry that the end of the series based on couple of passages would be exactly the same as the end of Narnia.

I hope to be proven wrong, I was interested in the book enough that I will buy the second one, but I certainly hope that it will take more original course. Right now I would describe it as too much Narnia, way not enough of Harry Potter and please let's not insult The Last Airbender by comparing it with this book. I feel that that show was way above this book in the plot and characters' development. (less)

I didn’t know what to expect when I started reading The Six. I have seen it compared to (http://www.girl-who-reads.com/2011/02...) Narnia and Harry Potter and this is where my apprehension set in. I haven’t read Narnia since I was about ten and I’ve never read Harry Potter so I was afraid that some of the magic would be lost on me. I also wasn’t sure how invested I would become in a group of thirteen year olds and their adventures but I was pleasantly surprised. The Six caught my attention right away with Darcy and her young teen angst and later by Hoyle’s excellent depiction of an alternate world called Alitheia.

The Six is full of magic and action which bridge the gap between young adult and adult readers. Once Darcy and her friends step into Alitheia it is nonstop action and adventure. I have to admit that this novel was my first encounter with many of the magical creates that Hoyle talks about. Once we stepped into Alitheia it took me a few pages to switch gears and catch up on the lingo but I got there eventually. It was a bit of an abrupt transition and I would have liked to see a little more world building and introduction to these new types of creatures so that I didn’t spend any time feeling lost. But like it said it didn’t take long to acclimate to Alitheia and once I did the magic began – literally and figuratively!

Not only is this an exciting fantasy-adventure novel but it is full of strong and characters and relationships. I really enjoyed the characters that Hoyle crafted from Darcy and her initial sullen and woe-is-me me attitude, to Sam and her over exuberance, to Perry and his tough guy persona. These kids felt really authentic, from their demeanors, to their dialogue and their attitudes towards each other. They were believable and this is a big part of what drew me into this novel. It didn’t matter that this was a younger crowd than I usually read about; a well-depicted character is a well-depicted character! I also loved to see the growth in Darcy’s character. Hoyle was able to incorporate themes like friendship, loyalty and forgiveness that appeal to any audience, especially the younger adult crowd. These relationships added another layer to the story making it more than just a fantasy novel.

The Six is an exciting, action filled and magical novel that will appeal to both young and not so young readers! There is enough meat to the story to appeal to adults who are fans of YA but it is also a clean enough story to be appropriate and relatable to younger teens so it really is the best of both worlds. I recommend this book to anyone who loves the magic and adventure of the Chronicles of Narnia and is looking to get lost in another world for a few hours!

I received an eARC of this book from the publisher (TWCS) in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

I was initially intrigued by the novel the moment I saw it in Netgalley and immediately requested it but for unknown reasons, I kept on passing through it in my reader and it became unnoticed for a couple of weeks. A couple of days ago, I started reading The Six and boy was I disappointed! Well, not in the way that you are probably thinking. I was very disappointed with myself for not reading the novel the moment I got it in my reader.

The Six is a story of Darcy and 5 of her friends who were prophesied to help Alitheia win against the baddies in their land. The Six has a Narnia vibe to it I must admit – it is similar when it comes to the parallel world concept, time stopping events and magical creatures but The Six has it’s own flavor to it. What I loved most about The Six was how the author created a world so enchanting and magical it was very entertaining to read and being a fan of Tolkien’s LOTR trilogy – The Six became memorable in my bookshelf.

Now for the characters, this is most likely the ever voiced opinion with regards to this novel – Darcy is an immature and selfish kid and I am not liking her one single bit. Actually that was also the main pull for me which is why I became so interested in the first few pages. so it’s win win. Darcy is negative from the start of the novel and I kept on figuring what her deal was and why she was like that. She also came of as a brat for me so I wasn’t really into her character although I would point out that as the story progress, her character matures a little but still not there. Her companions were also fun to follow. Each kid had their own personality and all 5 are very distinguishable from each other so you won’t have any issues following the story line. The magical creatures are also to look forward to. It would have been nice to learn a little more about these creatures though. Favorites would be Yahto Veli and Voitto Vesa, the narks (I can’t remember if I got that right, it’s narks right?). One person with two personality – literally. Narks has day and night counterparts. Their appearance and personalities changes as the time pass so imagine my confusion with their names as first. It’s Yahto and Veli (morning and night nark or the other way around, LOL) as the author explained in the story but to avoid confusion they use Yahto Veli or Vitto Vesa, whoever the nark is but still, it can get very confusing. In addition before I forgot, each kid also has a animal companion and forgive me, I forgot their names but as far as I can remember there’s a badger, lion, fox, bird (forgot what tye of bird) and a horse annnnnnnnnnd I’m forgetting one. Geez, see with the intricate world created by Hoyle, one tends to get lost with it in a fun way.

Storytelling was superb. Hoyle has a gift for writing, it was very flawless and entertaining. I can really get a vibe and see the story and the commotion, feel the emotions, the development. It has a balanced mix of fantasy and adventure with a little bonus of drama on the side. The ending was very intriguing and you’ll know immediately that it isn’t a stand alone book.

I got sucked in the story, got stucked in it and now I am wanting more. The Six is very recommended especially for people who enjoy fantasy and action. It is a mix of Narnia with a little Tolkien and a dash of Potter.(less)

I don't know what it is, but something about Darcy just draws me in and makes me want to get to know her. Darcy likes to be alone, sort of like me at times, and she also is really...negative towards life in general. So, in this case, Darcy was sort of a halfway point for me: relatable, but a little bit of a jerk. I guess I understand her point of view, but I was still a little put off by Darcy's attitude. Luckily, she sort of grew out of that while the book progressed and that showed how Darcy wasn't a static character.

This book got into the action really quickly and you only spent a small portion of the book going through all the introductions and doing the "exposition." Then it got right into business. Darcy reminded me exactly of Lucy from the Chronicles of Narnia. She sort of finds this new world and spends, like, thirty minutes in there, and when she comes out, no one's noticed she's gone and no one really believes her. But then she convinces everybody to come with her and when they get there, they learn that they're "The Six" who are supposed to change the world that they live in. At first they learn very little about the real reason they've come, but then they slowly learn more and more about how they're supposed to dethrone the current king who's supposedly evil.

When Darcy starts getting excluded, she finds company in a wolf named Lykos, and she learns magic from him. I felt really bad for Darcy at this point because a) she's being excluded, which I'm sure all of us are used to, and I hate it, that's for sure, b) she has to develop these powers on her own and can't even show them off because of Lykos's strict orders, and c) it's just awful to be the odd one out. I know I mentioned it twice, but I cannot express how God-awful it is to be the odd one out who isn't included in the inside jokes or invited to that birthday party. It also started to get a little boring around here because there wasn't much going on like in the beginning.

Anyway, another really big problem I had with this book other than the fact that Darcy was a little annoying at first was the fact that she was making really stupid decisions. That's a really big no-no in my book. If somebody's making a really bad decision and they don't even know they are, just keep on doing whatever they're doing, I just want to pull my hair out and scream. And Darcy was making some really big mistakes that cost her in the end. Obviously, the book wouldn't have ended the way it did, but I wish that Darcy was a little aware of what was happening. Just a little bit aware. A tiny bit.

So, I liked the action part of it, albeit the slower middle; and Darcy's character, despite her bad decisions and attitude in the beginning. I'm happy that Darcy grew throughout this book, and she really learned something about friendship that she didn't have before. Fans of the Chronicles of Narnia will thoroughly enjoy this middle grade fantasy. It's just too bad that I didn't like the Chronicles of Narnia that much, but this book was still good.(less)

The story is pretty much as the blurb describes: thirteen year old awkward and socially inept girl finds out she needs needs to save the magical world of Alitheia with her friends.

Darcy Pennington isn't just awkward - she is a self-centred individual who sincerely believes that the other kids at the camp are beneath her. She's much too good to be friends with her neighbour Samantha, who is nothing but nice to her. I don't think I can explain how Darcy feels better than Darcy herself, so here it is:

Samantha Palm. Blond, blue-eyed … and overweight. She'd lived at the end of their street before Darcy could remember, and every summer she tried to make friends with Darcy, to no avail. Darcy liked to think that her avoidance of Sam had nothing to do with the girl's weight, but if she was truly honest with herself, she knew that deep down she did not want to be friends with the fat girl at school. I have a hard enough time making friends at school without hanging out with someone like Samantha Palm, she'd argued to herself more than once.

And what, exactly, is it that makes Darcy so charming that people are falling over themselves to be friends with her? Actually, no one at the camp wants anything to do with her - even as Darcy is avoiding them because she doesn't like them, the OTHER kids are debating whether to hang out with her or not (the general consensus is NO), with Samantha ironically being Darcy's only advocate. In fact, in the Alitheian prophesy, Darcy is referred to as the leader of the group, but from what I see, the true leader is Samantha, who stands up to all of them and continues to be friends with Darcy no matter how meanly Darcy acts. I think the author has made a huge mistake by making the protagonist so unlikeable and unrelatable - I know thirteen year olds can't be expected to be mature and are flawed, but Darcy's character is a step too far!

I feel I would have enjoyed the book much more if it had been told by ANY of the other five kids that make up THE SIX. I really liked Samantha and I want to get to know Perry better (he does the 'arrogant and mysterious hot guy' so well!). The general plot line of the book resembles The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe for my liking: Darcy finds Alitheia by herself and must convince the other five that it exist and to accompany her back, while in Alitheia, she learns that the people have been waiting for "three women and three men" to save them from unspeakable horrors, and no matter how much time the six spend in Alitheia they return to this world to find that no time has passed.

I think I didn't enjoy The Six for a variety of reasons, the first and foremost being I am obviously not the demographic it is written for. I may have enjoyed it a lot more as a teenager, being able to relate to Darcy's 'no one understands me' phase and her family troubles, but all I saw was a teenager who never gave those around her a chance. Perhaps younger readers will enjoy this book more than me.(less)

K. B. Hoyle starts The Six off strong with thorough character development. The main character, Darcy, touches a note of familiarity with my morose, myopic 13 year old self. Any one who has ever wanted to run and hide rather than meet new people, considered lying to cover embarrassment, and ached over the guilt of being caught, will identify with Darcy. The Gateway Chronicles’ setting also helps set it apart from other escapist fantasy...
