Great start to the series, loved it!

I enjoyed reading this book. The characters developed naturally as they should and are likeable. The world so far is training in the temple. The main character is conflicted at first but quickly growing up to his powers. The people that support him are very good. I can't wait to read the next one!

Fun and full of action

This was a coming of age tale with a twist. The main character is a monster with a conscience. Good characters and Interesting magic. I hope the rest of the series is this good.
