Challengers of the Realm is a fantasy adventure story about a group of young people growing in their giftings and taking their place in their world. Their world is so very different, and yet very familiar to ours and the universal problems we all face from time to time. Their individual strengths are different from each other and totally compatible when it comes to problem solving. This could be the fantasy world for this generation like Lord of the Rings has been for previous generations. -Helene Schmidt Challengers Of The Realm really took me to a place where I felt like I could escape. As an active lover of other world fantasy books such as hunger games, the maze runner, divergent and so on this book really had that same energy. One of the notable things I can say about this book is that our main characters are flawed. We always want to see our hero's succeed. It made them so much more relatable. While they may have a strong exterior presence we really get to know how the characters are feeling in the tough moments. They show vulnerability in the times that are stressful and tough situations. I related most to Nysara as her thoughts and action which made her way more relatable to me. This along with the intense battle scenes made this Challengers Of the Realm book so incredible. It takes the game to a whole new level and depth to the card game. Reading the book makes me want to get into the game and get more familiar with it. -Abby MacNamara Challengers of the Realm has many components that are very familiar to me such as ancient evils and magic, sorted groups of people by skill, and a group of teenagers with unique skills trying to navigate a threat that's probably too large for them to handle. But it also provides me with an entirely new take on all of these. It's got an interesting take on the balance of good and evil with absolutely epic battles. It is also a good escape but I feel like I can apply some of it to my own life. and the way it's written does in fact feel more like i'm watching a film rather than reading a book. If anything I would say it's a good book for those who are wanting to get into reading and the fantasy genre but don't know where to start. To add on to that thought, I really think I would've enjoyed reading this book at any age. I would even go to say I would have enjoyed this book at 8 years old. That may just be me however. it's easy to follow and quite understandable even if you're not a fan of reading and/or fiction. My favorite part is that I could honestly make this a comfort book and easily be able to reread it. to speak more on the characters specifically, some parts were more relatable than others but i love the dynamic and academic rivalry between the main characters, it makes for quite the interesting read and super fun dialogue. I will say some of the characters are a bit simplistic but it's nice not having to over analyze every word that comes out of their mouth and it benefits the forwarding of the plot itself. I will say though some moments are a bit predictable, I surprisingly never felt that it took away from the plot. my jaw managed to fall on the floor quite a few times. Overall I would say the book successfully incorporates many favorite elements and excellent morals. In my truly honest opinion I would both read it again and recommend it to all my bookworm friends. This book is one of a kind. -Piper Hannan
