Charlie and Aaron Kataldi created a world all of their own when they were young. However, that paradise turned into a prison for Aaron who got trapped inside. Years later, Charlie is able to return to this world to save his long lost brother from the clutches of an evil sorceress.
Kataldi is the first book in a fantasy series which begins in the current day and travels to a land right out of the protagonist's imagination. The story unfolds about Charlie and his brother Aaron as Creators, how the kingdoms have evolved on their own, and the trouble they are now in. This installment is told from Charlie's point of view, so we get to know him pretty well. We understand his emotions and sense of urgency about his quest, and his nervousness at what has occurred while he was away. Kataldi the land is easy to get into, the authors bring it to life, though personally, I wanted to know more--hopefully in the next volume! Kataldi was an intriguing read that kept me turning pages to the end, the quest isn't over and I am looking forward to the next installment. A solid offering from new authors who have more to come.
