Kaikoura There is no word that can completely describe the utter stunning, breathtaking, awesome, extraordinary, mind-blowing, jaw-dropping book that Henry H. Neff wrote. The Maelstrom is the best book I have ever read, period. The plot, the characters, the themes are so beautiful and complex that this story is a work of art.

The thing that makes this book so wonderful is how real it is, yes there are fantasy creatures, gods of old, magic ect. but there is such humanity in Max, such faults, that make his so much more human. He knows he can't win. There is no fan club rooting for the survival of any character, Mr. Neff moves that story as if it was real. He won't save a character or develop a character so that his readers are happy. This book is real, alive and raw. A trait that can be read on every page.

In this book, Max remains the beautiful and fierce fighter we all love but he matures in such bounds, that one can not but feel pride bubble in their chest. He becomes an amazing strategist, a clandestine, black-ops and battlefield war machine. He begins to realize and interpret the world around him in a much deeper way. The treat of the assassins, the Atrops don't seem to bother his hope and belief in life.

I can honestly say that every part of this book was my favorite. The part I relish in however, is how Mr.Neff got rid of Julie. I really didn't like her and max together, she was a needy, stupid girl who did nothing. I don't want to give away too much but Max's new love interest is the most amazing thing that ever happened to him, happiness wise. Although, their love is a little rushed.

Spoiler Alert****
Scáthach is the an amazing addition, Max is finally with someone who is as awesome as he is.
