Alchemist’s Theorem: Sir Duffy's Promise

Ok, this is more than 25 books, but I thought I would extend the list with a few more bonus picks.I reviewed Alchemist's Theorem: Sir Duffy's Promise a few months ago and was actually quite impressed with it. As children's fantasy goes, it was entertaining enough to keep me, an adult, reading till the end. Many of the books on this list target adult readers, but this is my pick for the younger age of the reading spectrum â kids between seven and twelve will this an entertaining story through and through.The writing was good, there was some good world-building, the magic systems was fairly comprehensive if unoriginal â borrowed heavily from the alchemical magic you might find in the bestselling PC game Skyrim â and the plot, simple though it was, is good enough to keep the kids hooked. A good example of indie fantasy aiming for the younger market done right. Adult readers will likely want to skip this one because it is aimed at kids, but I recommend this as a good one to pass off to your kids. It's entertaining, kind of cute, and well written.
