My Opinion:
I really wanted to like this book, and I do, but I didn't love it. Not like the feeling I got when I read Heartache & Sin.
Charles is a great writer, the words he chose is what I enjoyed. How he told the tale.
The story just didn't wow me this time though.

2/5


Recommend? No, but I do recommend Heartache & Sin (link goes to my review)

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
