The Sol Katim: Separate Circle Part One
While kingdoms across Vanar ravage the continent with wars of trivial mortality, a forgotten war over the very fate of the world is being lost.
Haitu is a 17-year-old dreamer that abhors violence and mourns the world’s inclination towards it. His older sister, Farreem, and their mother, Sahren, have worked tirelessly to keep both Haitu and his innocence that others call naivety, safe. But Haitu’s life is turned upside down when is home is attacked by a brutal enemy, and a mysterious woman named Akina comes to recruit him for an ancient holy war. Though distrusting of Akina’s dualistic faith and unflinching zeal, Haitu has no choice but to go with her in exchange for the safe escape of his closest loved ones.
As Haitu and his family fight to survive the threat of vicious armies and magic thought long dead, he must contend with the secrets Akina is keeping, the strange power awakening deep inside him, and the prophesied promise of a The Sol Katim.

The Sol Katim is a classic Epic Fantasy boy-on-adventure, with a strong addition of family and friendship. The magic is mystical and undefined, but the book manages to constantly hints at the bigger picture - and the greater magic, hidden just below the surface and outside the reach of understanding, both for the protagonist and the reader. This is appealing, and makes you look forward for more!
The universe is (incredibly) well-developed, and the reader is left with complete certainty that the author knows what is going on, even if not all is revealed at an instant. The storytelling is also coherent, with a strong structure and purpose driven development. Characters are well-rounded and have realistic actions and thoughts.
I personally don't relate much to the whole family-first dimension of the book, but I know it caters well to other readers. If you like such themes, this book is - even more so - for you. Regardless of this, I would recommend this story (and the universe it introduces) to any and all YA fantasy fans.
