Had my doubts at the beginning of book one . At first the main character Ben was a spoiled , whining kid. I rolled my eyes a few times and thought- God let me get through this ! However, slowly I begun to enjoy Ben’s personality which by the end of book one you understand that’s what makes him uniquely perfect for his role in this exciting, fun storyline. I enjoyed both books and looking forward to the next . The narrator brings life to the story. I am a huge fan of RC Bray , but I found my other favorite now .
