![]() ![]() Our main character, Aeden, is a strong, engaging child protagonist, who’s mentality of being “almost 13,” despite being barely 12 is all too believable. Interestingly these friends will have a much larger role than some other friends within the fantasy genre that I can think about, though it’s not entirely clear what role that will be. This is especially true for many of Aeden’s friends, who’s antics truly become a joy to read as the story continues. But much of that seemingly meaningless meandering is well-spent real estate, so to speak, as it’s used to flesh out much of the characters, primary or otherwise. It meanders quite a bit, and it’s not always as fun as it should be. I hate to use this pun, but Dawn of Wonder is a wonderful debut. It has the heart of a coming of age tale, the mischief of a mystery, and the vigor of a warrior’s plight. ![]() Jonathan Renshaw, the debut author of Dawn of Wonder, hits it out of the park with this fantasy novel. ![]()
