Review of The Rise of Aredor

Claire M. Banschbach spins an enjoyable, worthwhile adventure of wartime courage.
, Jul 2018

The Rise of Aredor follows Corin, a young prince kidnapped and sold into slavery. He earns the respect of his master and eventually attains freedom, only to return home as a man and discover his land under siege by a cruel, power-hungry dictator. Corin determines to free his country. Some of the plotting and problem-solving elements may seem a bit contrived. Yet with action and intrigue reminiscent of a Robin Hood story, and hope that comes only from deep within, Claire M. Banschbach spins an enjoyable, worthwhile adventure of wartime courage.

Best for: Young adults who like high action and lots of fight scenes.

Discern: Lots of violence in battles and hand-to-hand combat; some graphic depictions.
