I’m pretty sure this book will appeal to all the Percy Jackson fans out there.When I first started the book,it reminded me a lot of the Percy Jackson series,but believe me,if you think that that fact will stop you from getting further into the book,it will not.The deeper you go into the book,you’ll start seeing the difference,the uniqueness of it,and it’s really worth it.

I’m afraid I’ll miss things,so I better so in order.The title,and the cover,they sync perfectly with each other ,as well as the story,like yeah,the title seems pretty simple,but just so you know,the entire story in based on that,so you get it right,how important that title is?I even love the smaller details around the corners,which I’m guessing are parts from the Yggdrasil tree,and that archway sort of thing.it gives you the feel of entering another world,literally.

Getting to the writing,it’s a really simple style of writing,easy to grasp,understandable and uncomplicated.And given the fact that it’s a Middle Grade book,I think the language is just perfect!And added to that,the lines are pretty hilarious at times.That’s a bonus,isn’t it?

Plot.Plot…I found it interesting,the way it started.Like seriously,it’s fun when a plot or story begins with your English teacher being turned into a lizard and it goes on to being a lot more action packed.The times the characters go through,the adventures they have,new friends they make throughout the book,all these elements combined,they make the book a great read.And there are these descriptions of each place which manage to create these vivid images in your mind.

The best part of most of the books,the characters.Basically,3 of the main characters are 12 years old.Sam Baron,the protagonist around whom the book revolves,he’s 12,with really strong powers which he has no idea of initially.Like it amazed me every time he used his powers or was being strong,like he was a TWELVE YEAR OLD and he had to save the world all by himself!And then there was Keely and Howie,two characters who remained Sam’s friend though rain and sunshine.They weren’t exactly strong or brave characters initially,but I loved how they developed throughout the book into stronger people.And then there’s Leo too,another amazing character who would probably do anything to save Sam’s life,and the little witch Mavery,she was fun to read about too.The best thing here,the bond between them,how Sam chose to betray others to keep his friends safe,how his friends stood by him at his darkest time.

I certainly didn't realise it was this long.For full review https://liveinthepagesofbooks.wordpress.com/2017/01/23/reviewthe-red-sun-by-alane-adams/
