Thomas Wildus and the Wizard of Sumeria is
a fantastical, an action-filled, an adventure-filled, and a magic-filled, young
adult fiction, and the second book in The
Elandrian Chronicles created by J.M. Bergen.
It’s summer vacation and Thomas Wildus and
his friends Enrique and Akhil are doing what normal and ordinary boys do during
vacation, having fun and hanging out, with girls. However, a mysterious
message, a glimpse of a familiar, albeit frightening, face, and a visit from
his mentors cut the summer fun short. Now, Thomas and his friends are back to
the training room and preparing for a quest for a magical object and a
confrontation with the ‘Sumerian’.
As magical as, as suspenseful as, and,
probably, even more action-filled than the first book, this second installment
introduces more characters both good and evil and presents more rigorous
training, both physical and mental, for Thomas and Enrique. The author also
offers surprising twists and unexpected turns of events that make the book even
more interesting. Fighting and chasing scenes are depicted in vivid and minute
detail and the conclusion is quite satisfying. However, I find some of the
descriptions too gory and too violent for young readers.
Still, I enjoyed this book a lot and I’m
looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
Thank you Kimmy Schemy! I'm thrilled that you had so much fun with this one :)
