Story review

Tal has always lived in a world of darkness a world where the sun is blocked by a magical Veil. But one day when he finds out that his father is dead or possibly missing. Him and his shadowguard sit out to get another sunstone (which are “magical” stones that emit very bright light) to be able to heal his mother from sickness and protect his siblings. The one his family use to use is with their father. So he tried to ask his relatives for one because they had more way more then they needed but they refused.  

So he tried to enter for a contest called Achievement of luminosity and there were categories. And he accidentally signed up for the Achievement of music, instead of the Achievement of body. But one of the jades was sushin and he was a person who hated Tal’s dad, for beating him in Achievement of combat 8 times in a row. So he gave him a bad result. So that’s when he got the idea from his uncle and his shadowguard (your shadow that can change shapes and protect its master from danger) to steel a sunstone from one of the seven towers.

He go’s and end’s up trying to steel one from the least protected tower which was the red tower. But when he gets right to the top of the tower a snake looking spiritshadow (are one of the most powerful shadowguards) sees him and pushes him of that tower. And that’s when he meets the far-raiders’ and, Milla and Crone.
That’s why probably the author choose this title because it tells the reader about the seven towers and how the main character falls off of it. That why I would say that this books theme was mysteries and adventurous. And full of vary interesting things that you would have never thought of. 

Christian prospective

Well this book wasn’t really written from a Christian prospective and the character didn’t really deal with the problem in a Godly way. Cause Tal tried to steal the sunstone from the red tower not gain it . Because his first and second plane didn’t work, so I think he should have just waited till the right moment for him to win another sunstone. And that way he will be able to talk care of his family and be the next leader Intel his father returns (maybe).   

My thoughts

 I choose this book because I was tolled to do something different then before, and I thought it would be fun to try something other then what I have been reading. But Truthfully I ended up hating this  book. It’s really boring and I hate the whole idea of the sun being blocked because of a veil or whatever, and how the character dealt with the problem. And I would definitely recommend this book to people who enjoy reading mysteries and magical books.
