Elementis: The Heir to the Stone
Fifteen-year-old orphan, Jonas Knight finds misplaced solace stealing cargo with the Ship-Spiders of Rilk. His curious strength, and differences to the Spiders on his world lead Jonas to wonder what kind of world he really comes from. When his thoughts are answered and Jonas is returned by force to his home planet of Aquilla by the order of King Uly (his father), the boy could never have imagined the reasons for his orphanhood. Prince Calyx, his twin brother has been taken by the metal-blooded Fantoms and Jonas learns that his mixed-race blood makes him the only one capable of protecting existence from the darkest mind of the Zohr. Jonas must uncover the hidden secrets inside of his mind, fight against the evils that threaten to bring the end and teach himself how to control the most powerful stone in the universe, the Elementis.

I thought that Elementis: The Heir to the Stone was a rather interesting book. For me it was far and above better than the run of the mill 'coming of stories' that you read in both Science Fiction and Fantasy realm books. Sure the hero is young has family issues both with Father and sibling, and he can be impetuous at times. He can also can be loyal, trying to fit in with others and develop a moving friendship with another kid how has a much different upbringing. Another standout for me was the world building that the author did.
It was very interesting fusion of styles that seem to have a nice mix of both Sci-Fi and Fantasy. Wedge's writing has a certain florid quality to his writing that harkens back to the writers or writings of yesteryear, (e.g. think of the flavor of a Fritz Leiber, Leigh Brackett, or a Jack Vance) but also very contemporary and leaving us with wanting to know more about the characters that we feel invested in. I look forward to the next book with great anticipation
