Elijah Meeks

I won this via goodreads giveaways and was sent the review copy by the author. This light novella is a fun escape though I found it ended a bit too quickly for my speedreading taste. As other reviewers have noted it offers hints of tried and true stories and I found that when combined they melded pretty well. However, I felt frustrated and let down by the writing at the end and will hopefully soon reread in an attempt to sort out why. Overall I found this a nice first novel and I look show more forward to seeing future work from Meeks. Four stars for keeping me up to finish even if the last few pages had me wrinkling my nose.

Young adult novel set during the Bronze Age. Two teenage boys leave their homes, and find different adventures; both growing up along the way. There's plenty of action, and a bit of romance thrown in as well. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it considering the YA genre isn't usually my thing. Once I started it though I found it hard to put down and zipped through it in a few hours (it's very short). I would recommend for fans of historical fiction, or readers of YA fiction.
