Jayben and the Golden Torch
Book Review
I loved this book because it had so much excitement and tension. Reading it took me on a magical journey
Jayben was such an adventure, it was so thrilling to read. There were cliffhangers at the end of each chapter, which made me want to read on.
I would recommend this book for people age nine and up.
The book started quite slowly but after the first few chapters it was easy to get into. The book was set in a mythical elf world full of dangerous creatures. This book has a strong message of friendship to it and the characters have such a lovely relationship with each other.
I loved this book because it had so much excitement and tension. Reading it took me on a magical journey.
I hope anyone else who reads it enjoys it just as much as I did.
About the Book
Jayben discovers that many moons ago, a giant put a dark spell on the golden torch, and the elves forgot everything that had come before. Now they hang precious memories in jars on trees, just to try to remember.
But a new darkness grows among them.
An evil villain called Null is burning down the forests, hellbent on finding the torch and becoming the most powerful being ever to live.
If Jayben can find his own magic and ignite the torch with its fierce violet flame, his power will be unstoppable … Can Jayben save the world before the lights go out forever?
