Thought I would share this with you. As reviews go, this one is pretty hard to beat. Just as well, perhaps, that I am in the closing stages of finishing the sequel.
Below is just a snippet. I recommend a visit to Kelly Smith's site for the rest and other cool reviews.

Chris Northern’s YA fantasy novel The King’s Ward is a delight to the mind. Full of vivid scenes, strong emotions and strong, young characters.
But it’s not just for teens. I think many adults will love this strange, unique story just as much as their kids!
It’s about loneliness, abandonment and finding oneself, but doesn’t
sound at all as psychological as I just described. It’s a fantasy
journey of magic and supernatural abilities.
While I read this, the world melted away and all I saw was the land of
Albion and its inhabitants. This story will linger with you long after
you’ve finished it
.
5/5–unique!
