Kazan

Kazan #3

by Gaku Miyao

In the first chapter of this fantasy series, Kazan, a boy warrior wandering across a desert world saves a young girl named Fawna from slave traders. Fawna displays the magical power to conjure water from nothingness, which leads Kazan to suspect that she is a demon. Fawna tells Kazan that she is trying to get to a place called Goldene, but Kazan wants nothing to do with her. In the next town, Fawna and Kazan part ways but are quickly reunited when Fawna is captured by a ruthless water baron named Bolzar.

Kazan and a boisterous old lady named Arbey team up to rescue Tawna and overthrow Bolzar. In the final chapter if this volume, we learn that Kazan comes from a once-powerful tribe of nomads called the Red Sand. Kazan is the heir to the Red Sand's leader Sheeroc, who leaves his tribe in search of a robust wheat that will survive in the desert climate. Unfortunately, in their leader's absence, tragedy befalls the Red Sand. Kazan and his best friend Elsie are attacked by a powerful water demon who claims that he made a deal with Sheeroc for Kazan's life. A natural disaster ensues, of which Kazan was the only survivor.

I loved this book out of all of the three I read from the series. After many days of travel, Kazan and the others settle at a hot spring where many other people are also bathing and relaxing in the warm waters. Until Fawna accidentally used her water powers scaring all the people into thinking she was a water demon trying to attack her even Kazan started to believe she was as well. Arbey, the old lady, talked everyone that she was very nice person and that she uses her powers for good not evil. Later the ninjas after Fawna hurts Kazan's eagle named Hamushin so he decides to take on all of the ninjas but is also is badly hurt by an arrow shot at him. Fawna with angry uses her water power out of control that she washed everybody even herself away leaving Kazan alone still badly hurt. What made this the best out the three the best of the story line was brought out which I for sure recommend you to read.
