I’m writing this review having just read Chapter 61 (Book 4) of this multi-book series. An earlier reviewer said everything I would have about Book 1 and the author, so I waited a while in order to to update his review.

Since Book 1, the author has improved his grammar to the point of it not being a concern or distraction. My congratulations and thanks to Gruinard for that. But that’s a minor issue.

The big thing is that the story and the main characters have continued to grow in depth and believability. This is a well-plotted and well-written coming-of-age story. Having only visited Edinburgh once, I can’t comment on the time and place, but the characters are all believable in their descriptions and actions, and nothing feels out of place or contrived. Every teenager acts like one and every adult reflects how I remember them appearing to the teenage me those many years ago.

Of course one has to suspend belief to some extent, but that’s true of all fiction. Of course, as well, the hero’s achievements are too good to be true. At least here the suspensions are believable, if that’s not a contradiction.

Don’t read this book for the sex. That is occasional and fleeting, but well done.

I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes a well-crafted story with a hero whose emotional and maturational development carry the story far beyond his quotidian experiences.

Plot: 10 | Technical Quality: 9 | Appeal to Reviewer: 10
