Questors

Staying true to my habit of not reading a book that has already a huge fanbase I bought a book that seemed interesting yet I know that the probably isn't that famous.Questors is a book written by Joan Lennon(Yes if you google her name you will probably find more information of John Lennon instead.It was published on the year 2007.The story definitely had an interesting way of telling the story.

The High and Low
.There are three central characters each passing the spotlight every 5 to 6 chapters
.I really liked the characters they were fun and in some way original.

.Some part of the stories were preety predictable

Quick Summary
Three heroes were picked to save all the worlds from the force of evil(there are 4 worlds in all) but when the danger was fast forward ten years they have no choice but to call these unready heroes.These heroes must save all the world even before they reach twenty years old and without the proper skill that the should have learned if all went smoothly.To top it of an evil mastermind had done something to each them so they are not perfect like the were supposed to be so with all odds stacked Cam,Bryn and Madlen have to search an object of power to hold the balance of the world in each on their own world(Three of them came from a different world but the three of them are brothers and sisters)..................................buy the book if you want or you can try to find it in your local library.

The Conclusion
Truthfully I did enjoy my time reading Questors mainly because I felt that  the author's style has a somewhat feeling to my favourite author Diana Wynne Jone.Questors is really a fun book to read it has its fair share of humour and adventure.The book also had great cast of  fun and likable characters even though they're aren't as witty or likable as Diana Wynne Jones characters.While the story was solid it lacked any suprise or originality(Of course it's hard to make an original story but sometimes even with the most used idea can be great by an excellent author)The story was defintely told by an interesting way there(there are three main characters they all appear at the same time but on each of their own woirld we read on a different perspective but sadly the story also leck the depth that most of Diana's book had.While I have to say that this isn't the best fantasy book recently I am still excited on what Joan Lennon can bring next time.

Rating:7 out of 10
