NOMAN is the finale to THE NOBLE WARRIORS trilogy. I would not suggest reading this book before you read the previous two.

The novel brings a beautiful end to the story of Seeker, Jango, and Morning Star. The stories are very character-driven, and to fully grasp the depth and spirituality of the characters it is important to understand their past. The author writes the book by taking the reader into the actions of the main characters by alternating chapters. At times this did make it difficult to follow the story line, because there was a lack of consistency and flow throughout the story.

This book is thought-provoking and contains symbolism and moral messages that can be directly associated show more with religion and spirituality.

During NOMAN, the young people in the book are sent on their own individual quests to decide who they want to be and what is important to them in their lives. Even as Seeker faces the completion of his quest to kill the last of the Old Ones, he finds someone who is preaching joy and love - and he is forced to face the reality of his past decisions.

Although it would be nice to see them use their powers all together, I liked the individual aspect of the teens learning to deal with life problems on their own.

Book was compelling because of the bonds between the protagonists that didn't break under pressure. Good ending.
Very metaphysical. Not many young adults would be wiling to read the search for belief in a god.
...they killed ....God?? What even was this book.
