With "Klaus, Defender of Children", Earl Chessher has written a novel in three parts that took me only two days to read. I found myself immediately pulled into the world of a boy who had to grow up to be a man too soon. Tragedy creates a, to a part, tragic hero who prevails despite his circumstances and discovers that he has been granted a gift to help him fulfill a great destiny. I was pleasantly surprised by the ending - the book's release is very fitting with the time of year. I enjoyed "Klaus" very much. It's a good, quick read for anyone who enjoys a fast-paced, action-packed fantasy fiction.
