Prophecy of the Flame - Lynn Hardy ★★★★★

Prophecy of the Flame is a great book for D&D fans and just anyone who loves a good fantasy adventure story. The plot line is one that anyone might dream of - being pulled into another dimension based on a game he/she is playing - however, the events that unfold are unique and keep the story invigorating.

Archmage Reba

 The characters are all very different from being arrogant and annoying to somewhat cute and childish. 

The main character Reba is a head strong woman who takes advantage of her new found power but has a good heart and thoroughly tries to help everyone. However the more she uses her magic the more dependent she becomes on it which could lead to some major problems down the line in the coming books. 

Her friends all have dynamic personalities that are used sometimes as comedic relief and support Reba throughout the story. 

Archmage Reba and the Crusaders of the Light

Though the book does not focus on character development as much as it does the plot line, the reader is still able to see their development through their actions and Reba's thoughts. The personality of the characters seem very realistic and they all have their flaws and back stories (though they are not talked about much) which make each character interesting to read (even if the can get annoying and make me want to slap them sometimes).

 The downside of this book (there's one in every book) is that there are a few points in the book in which the characters get rather intimate that would be inappropriate for the youth, but they are easy to skip over and does not take away from the story. It is heavy on the action with some romance and thus makes a great read for all readers. 

I am interested in reading the second installment in the series and am looking forward to seeing where the story goes.
