Ilustration During Books The Light of Eidon (Legends of the Guardian-King #1)

Abramm has dedicated the last eight years of his life to becoming worthy to touch and tend the Sacred Flames of Eidon, and he expects to be blessed for his devotion and sacrifice. But on the eve of taking the vows that will irrevocably separate him from the life he was born to--as Abramm Kalladorne, fifth son of the king of Kiriath--he is betrayed by his spiritual mentor and sold into slavery by his brothers.

Swept along by the winds of a new destiny, Abramm is forced to compete as a gladiator. When the oppressed masses rally around his success, he discovers his suffering has molded him into something greater than he ever though possible--to serve a purpose he never imagined.

Set in a world of swords and cloaks, of glittering palaces and mystical temples, of galley ships and ancient mist-bound cities, The Light of Eidon is the first volume of an epic series, LEGENDS OF THE GUARDIAN-KING.

Commentary Regarding Books The Light of Eidon (Legends of the Guardian-King #1)

If this book was a movie, it'd be better than Gladiator. There. I said it. Why? Because this book has purpose. The main character, Abramm (Eldrin) goes through some major life struggles. Struggles many of us could relate to. Things don't go our way, we get frustrated - we wished it had gone the way we envisioned it, but it doesn't. We keep thinking we're making the right decisions but we aren't. Who hasn't gone through that at some point? The struggles Abramm deals with are real, but they're

I had to get past my frustration with the main character. I understand Karen Hancock may have wanted to show his struggle to the way of the Light. However, it was irritating to read the thoughts of the character as he came off as a prideful idiot. Even when it was obvious, he kept sticking his head in the sand. Now this would have been fine if it had only lasted about 10 - 20% of the book. No, this lasted for about 75 - 80% of the book. And the main character's sister was just as bad. Neither

DNF 18% 5/13/16I'm too impatient right now to wait for the plot to pick up. It is really predictable right now.

Wow! Epic Christian Fantasy novel that didn't hold back...yes, please! I actually gave this book 4.5 stars. This world is complex and very well developed. The different people groups, customs and beliefs, histories and cultures are all intricate and fully developed. The plot was action packed and had me guessing more than once. The timing was great and I had know idea we would end up where we did. There were many scenes that I absolutely loved! The beauty of friendship built through trauma was

I downloaded this book for free for my Sony e-reader.This is a wonderful book that maintained my interest all the way through. It has everything you could want: action, romance, political intrigue. I was a bit shocked and a little upset to find that this book is considered to have heavy Christian overtones. This is a fantasy book, and many fantasy characters believe in a god or gods, so I guess that's why it was more palatable to me than a strictly Christian book. The religious aspects of it

This book had me a bit confused at first. I couldn't tell where the author was going with certain elements of the plot ... which was actually refreshing, since a lot of the time I can figure things out before they're revealed! It didn't take me long to be completely hooked by the storyline and by the characters. It's a fascinating fantasy with an intriguing storyworld, so I'm definitely planning on picking up the next book in the series!

I just can't give this book any more stars as a Christian book. Yes, it was well written and, as a fantasy novel, I would have given it 4 stars. But as a CHRISTIAN fantasy novel, it fell short. Yes, lots of talk of this book's version of God, but there was far too much magic not only on the evil side, but on the "good" side. Too many opportunities for evil to take hold, all under the guise of Christianity. I'll not be finishing the series, that is certain.
