SONG OF EDMON by Adam Burch is the first book in the Fracture
World series and is a paranormal young adult novel.
This
book has the feel of Edmond Dantes in THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO
and is sure to have your attention from the first page.
SONG OF EDMON is a dark book where the unknown and
unexpected lurks in
the shadows. Edmon just cannot keep his mouth shut making him
an easy target and causing lots of drama. He has a love for
music, art,
and is against fighting. Edmon's character is well developed
and planned to mesh with the overall feel of the story. There
are other characters that are just as developed and
entertaining with detailed pasts that help play a role in
current situations.
The book is told from a first person point
of view which helps to add to the suspense and fantasy theme.
Burch has a uniquely different writing style that is quite
entertaining but mysterious at the same time. While the world
may be exciting living on a planet that no longer spins, there
still is the fear of the unknown. Do you choose to live in
complete light every minute of every day? Knowing that with the
night there are no stars. Or do you choose the darkness? Never
knowing what daylight feels like and always in fear of what
might be hidden in the shadows so far out of sight yet you
still have the stars to keep you company.
I really enjoyed
reading SONG OF EDMON and found it easy to get lost in the
story enjoying every minute of this science fiction fantasy.
The ending is quite the cliffhanger and seems to set things up
for the next book in the Fracture
World series. I cannot
wait to read what lies ahead for this group of characters as
their journey continues. I highly recommend SONG OF EDMON to
science fiction fantasy fans.
In Adam Burch’s thrilling series debut, a young man must choose between violence and peace in a distant world divided between those who thrive in endless sunlight and those who survive in eternal darkness. The isolated planet of Tao is a house divided: the peaceful Daysiders live in harmony while the pale Nightsiders pursue power and racial purity through the violent ritual of the Combat. Edmon Leontes, the gentle son of a ruthless warrior noble and a proud Daysider, embodies Tao’s split nature. The product of diametrically opposed races, Edmon hopes to live a quiet life pursuing the music of his mother’s people, but his Nightsider father cruelly forces him to continue in his bloody footsteps to ensure his legacy. Edmon’s defiance will cost him everything…and spark a revolution that will shake the foundations of Tao. His choice—to embrace the light or surrender to the darkness—will shape his own fate and that of his divided world.
