This story was a great page turning adventure with a 14 year old boy who has no idea that he is destined to be king of a place he never heard of. The book starts out with the author showing us this sheltered 14 year old boy who mother basically shelters him like a 4 year old . I thought this was all very odd and almost cheered when he ran off trying to show his Independence and then was sad when it seemed it was all gonna end with him getting bullied by some jerk. In the end instead he finds out all about his future. At the end of the story their a nice twist that makes the story unique in the fantasy world and is one of the best cliff hanger/sneak peeks of what is to come that i seen before. This was a wonderful read and can't wait to see what next for Ethan.
