Publisher Description

Author Cinda Williams Chima perfectly weaves fantasy elements into the life of a typical American teenager is this stunning novel that was a Book Sense Summer Pick and was named to VOYA's Best Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror List. Jack Swift thinks he's a regular 16-year-old, but he's about to learn that's not true. In fact, he is descended from an ancient line of magical warriors who are raised for one purpose-to fight another warrior to the death. "Hard to imagine it being any better written ."-VOYA

"The idea of wizards and warriors and other clans is new and yet used, but either way, The Warrior Heir is an interesting look on magic and how it could effect the world. It was interesting how non-magical (Anaweir, if you read the book) don't know about the magical guilds, even if they are close relatives of Weir (Wizards, Sorcerers, Enchanters...). This novel breathes new life into the fantasy genre, and does not in any way make it seem as if magic is overused. Because although the book seems similar to say Harry Potter, there are enough differences to make it seem original."

    " I read this on my own recommendation from reading her other trilogy. This one seemed much more YA, and didn't draw me in as she did before. Bought the whole trilogy as a package, might give the second a try. "

    " This book was too similiar to too many other young adult books I have read. Too predictable. Too forgettable. I might however recommend it to young male readers who are tired of the stronger female presence in young adult fantasy today. "
