Catrin Volker is the heroine and becomes bigger than life. She struggles with the cards that she has been dealt, and that is mostly with moral issues. Should she risk the lives of her friends and family? Should she risk the lives of total strangers? Should she do what she has set out to do? She has her protectors; her cousin Chase, friends Osbourne and Strom, and her surrogate father Benjin Hawk.
She makes the journey to the Greatland in search of answers. Is she really the Herald of Istra? Can she control these powers that she is conflicted with? Will Benjin stay at her side? Will she ever see her father again?
Catrin finds out much more than she ever reckoned she would when she makes it to the Greatland. She finds out more of her mother and her father, and how Benjin played a part in it all.
The story is a mixture of Hunger Games and Lord of the Rings. There is a heroine, with magic and swords and special journeys that only the main character can complete with the assistance of her protector. Catrin is much like Frodo, and Benjin is muck like Sam. Catrin is much like Katniss and Benjin is much like Haymitch. Both Frodo and Katnis are on a journey, like Catrin. Both Sam and Haymitch are there to protect, much like Benjin.
I am excited to see where this story ends. I have already begun to read Dragon's Ore, and am excited by the title.
