2022 Readers' Favorite Winner for YA
Urban Fantasy.
Jennifer Monroe is an average eighteen-year-old girl, and she knows it.
Which is precisely why no one—least of all herself—would suspect anything
extraordinary from the quiet, boring girl who only has a few good friends to
call her own. But that all got flipped on its head about a year ago, when two
imposing men, a complete goofball, a werewolf, and two large four-legged
creatures barged into her life.
Now over a year later, Jen leads a double life. Mild mannered, quiet, high
schooler by day; dragon slayer and raw-energy-wielding-warrior (in training) by
night. Juggling SAT scores, papers, and mastering the art of flying, she’s
managed to keep her friends and family oblivious of her hybrid abilities and
continue on a track for college. Everything was going swimmingly.
Until one normal, foggy, November morning, when a dragon crashed through the
clouds, heralding a small army to descend on her high school.
All for little, forgettable her.
Making her realize that maybe there’s a whole lot more going on than she
originally thought.
Reviews:
"A
must-read, action-packed adventure that combines the real-life challenges of
high school with that of an epic, otherworldly armageddon. I highly
suggest The Rise of the Raidin for YA fantasy fans—you won't
be disappointed!" - Reedsy Discovery, ★★★★★
"Susan L Markloff has pulled off a fantastic story here, with depth of
plot and characters that leave you wanting to read more. Young Adult Fantasy
readers will find a whole world to love in The Rise of Raidin, and
the premise fits nicely within the genre. Superbly written, with great humor
and attention paid to each character that makes the whole read thoroughly
enjoyable." - ManyBooks
"A highly original YA urban fantasy, The Rise of the Raidin is
an engaging mixture of everyday high school pressures, and the pressure of
confronting mythical beasts. The well-choreographed action scenes and snappy
dialogue result in a work of YA fantasy that will satisfy traditional YA
readers and fantasy readers alike." - Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★
"The Rise of the Raidin delivers an original take on dragons
and dragon slayers with a secret world, a double life, coming-of-age discovery,
and action-packed fight scenes." Reader's Favorite, ★★★★★
"The Rise of the Raidin is an exceptional science fiction/high
fantasy novel that will appeal to fans of those genres, as well as readers who
enjoy high school drama." BookLife, ★★★★
MY REVIEW:
The first book from The Human Born Era series, The Rise of the Raidin, is, also, the first book I have read by Susan L Markloff. I thought it was an interesting book to read. It was full of action, adventure, and magic. Even though it took me a few chapters to get into it, I was captivated from start to end. I liked it.
I am giving The Rise of the Raidin four stars. I believe fans of young adult paranormal and fantasy fiction will want to give this one a read. I would be interested to finding out what happens next in the follow up in The Human Born Era, The Ties That Bind.
I received a hard cover copy of Susan L Markloff's The Rise of the Raidin from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
