I didn’t know what to expect when I opened the pages of the Pegasi Chronicles: the Sacred Knife. It’s youth fiction, so somewhere in the back of my head I expected to be unchallenged (because youth left me thirty years ago). I was wrong. This book has twists, excitement, and is the opening of what is sure to be a very vivid and imaginative series. There is human experience, remorse, a hint of otherworldly power, and while the back-set of the story is a war between good and evil, the story is actually about relationships and how they thrive throughout adversity. Only once before in my life have I not been able to put a book down, forgoing eating and sleep just to finish. That lifetime record, with the Sacred Knife, is now set at two. The book is well worth the read, just remember to eat and sleep as required.

I enjoyed this read. It’s on the darker side. It took me a bit to get into it but the background info is necessary for the story so it worked. I really liked the full circle back from the beginning to the end and I will definitely read the next spiral soon.
