Will West is careful to live life under the radar. At his parents' insistence, he's made sure to get mediocre grades and to stay in the middle of the pack on his cross-country team. Then Will slips up, accidentally scoring off the charts on a nationwide exam, and he is recruited by an exclusive and mysterious prep school - the best school no one's ever heard of, with technology the likes of which no one's ever seen.
At the same time, coincidentally - or not so - Will realizes he's being followed by men in dark hats, driving black sedans who pose a terrifying threat to his family. What follows is a series of events and revelations that places Will smack in the middle of a millennia old struggle between titanic forces....

I really wasn't expecting the kind of atmosphere that this book ended up presenting.If you are like me then you notice how old it gets when a teenager's story is solely revolving around their school life drama with a side of extra fantasy. Well fear not, because this book changes that enough to where you don't even notice. It feels so different from those cliché novels that it works well with the characters and they don't throw it into your face so it is easy to forget they are even attending school.
-Hooking Action
-Once you discover the suspenseful mystery there is still much conflict so that you don't feel cheated halfway through the book
-Likable characters. They are not all written so that we may connect with them entirely. They are very much their own souls and I like that difference for once because I am seeing how someone would react at a viewpoint that I wouldn't know of.
-Normally I can predict at least the main point of an ending but I'm telling I just didn't see this one coming. It was clear there'd be a sequel so I knew not all the problems would be solved but the twist that happens is so far from what your mind is revolving around, it's great.

The Paladin Prophecy Book 1 (Audible Audio Edition) Mark Frost Joe Jameson Audible Studios Books Reviews
**Never Any Spoilers**
In every way, this book was a pleasure to read. Mr. Frost can certainly write. In some ways, the plot mechanisms here have been done elsewhere, but Mr. Frost puts them together in such a way that they seem fresh. The mystery is intriguing, and unfolds with perfect pacing. There are no over-explanations of events, but just enough is consistently revealed to keep the reading fresh and exciting. For a 550 page book, this sure went by fast. The action is intense, and short (but not too-short) chapters keep things rolling throughout the novel. The humor and dialog is also superlative. For once, an author writes characters that don't try to be funny--their dialog actually is funny and witty. I found myself using the highlight function on my kindle on a few witticisms that I need to work into my own conversation. The novel is also appropriately juvenile, with language that isn't overly coarse but still makes plain the intentions of the speaker. Finally, I wouldn't say the novel is scary, but there's certainly a few scenes that could make your skin crawl. Really, this is a perfect read if you are reading for pure enjoyment.
Language usage in the earliest chapters a bit affected, even strained, but hang in there. It's a small, brief annoyance. That soon disappears and you are drawn into a terrific and quite original mystery...a little techno-freaky (for this old timer who still loves young reader literature) but the author is a skillful storyteller and quite good at writing craft. Well paced and unpredictable. It can be difficult to find good material for tween boys; this should really suit boys that age. I almost never give any book 5 stars so don't discount this one. I recommend it.
When I began this book, I loved it. However, the further I dived into it, the more I realized that plot devices seemed more of a convenience than a foundation of the story. For some that's not an issue, but for me, it pushes me out of the suspension of disbelief realm.
An example, which is potentially a spoiler, though a minor one
The main character's on the run. I'm 20% into the book, and I'm rooting for the kid, who seems to have the ability to run really fast, like the Flash. That's really all that we know about him at this point. He gets to an airport, is going through security and thinks, "Crap - there's stuff in my bag that they'll see, and I absolutely CANNOT get held up here; the bad guys will be here any minute!"
So what happens?
Conveniently, the character remembers an ability that he has, one where he can shove images into other peoples' minds...and promptly uses it to trick the security officers.
...how do you forget you have that talent?
Don't get me wrong. This book is really new age. It kind of meshes a lot of things together, but in general is a thriller and has a likeable main character. Also, the rules that his dad had him live by are very clever, and a really neat way to push forward the plot. But there were a lot of things that just kind of...stuck out.
