Flamingo and Ogre by Najeev Raj Nadarajah

I cant wait to see what he will accomplish in the future.

He accomplished much already, with the little knowledge of his power that he has.

Most of them didnt stand out, and I kept mixing them up, despite remembering their names.īut Weaver was a great hero, with great potential. And some of the characters didnt have enough distinguishing characteristics to tell them apart. And the characters didnt talk like normal 16-18 year olds. But sometimes it seemed a bit beyond YA, and a bit word-heavy. The writing style in this was extremely descriptive and had some beautiful imagery. Apocalypse by design, where dreams come to life, and fire ignites creatures of nightmare. I am not surprised to see in Najeev Raj Nadarajah's bio that he was inspired by many famous fantasy authors. And Weaver and his friends seem to all have a sense of duty and self-sacrifice in protecting the Shield, which is common in classic fantasy.

With the mysterious, seemingly all-powerful villain, who will likely remain faceless till the end of the series (which is fine, as long as he isnt Weaver's father :P) the boy hero who discovers that he has a power that is the last hope. But despite the futuristic setting, and even before taking Weaver's powers into consideration, it felt like a fantasy in theme, characters, and adventure. It is in a post-apocalyptic setting, set in Toronto, Canada, approximately 60 years after a cataclysmic war. This book's best feature is easily the original story idea and unique combo of genres.
