This book is sooo good! Britfield & the Rise of the Lion by C.R. Stewart is book two in the Britfield series. I reviewed Britfield & the Lost Crown and couldn't wait for the second book to be released. This is an amazing book. The research Mr. Stewart put into it made it a book rich with descriptions. The intricately detailed plot made it a page turner filled with action, adventure, and deep political intrigue. And yet, this exceptional book is written for young adults and teens. I think it would be well-received by ages 13 on up through adults. There are plans to make the first book and subsequent books into movies. They will be first-rate action movies.
I don't want to give the plot away, but while reading, one learns geography, art, and gets a hefty dose of political conspiracy theories as well. It's intense in some scenes, but there are honorable characters as well as heinous characters.
I found it truly fascinating. I highly recommend this series. I think it's good for both girls and boys, but I think boys will eat it up. After all, there are weapons and altercations involved.
If you've got a teen who likes action, I'd put this series on your shopping list this holiday season.
