My thanks to the publishers for sending it to Bookbag. It's a shame, as it could have been a book to rave about. With the possibility of four more unsatisfactory conclusions, before finally getting to the sixth and final book in the series, it's not something I'd want to gamble on, nor is it something that I can really recommend.

If A Hero's Quest was the first four chapters of a longer book, I'd be thrilled to carry on reading. A Hero's Quest just feels like half a book.
HERO GLADIATORERNA SERIES
I might prefer standalone books to series, but if a series has distinct episodes I can live with that. Everything is still largely at the scene-setting stage, rather than having any significant plot, much less having any sort of conclusion. With four short chapters, nothing much has even happened in the story before it stops. The action doesn't pause on a dramatic note, it just stops in the middle of a scene. Unnecessary cliffhangers are Bookbag's biggest collective bugbear in children's books. Everything about the book suggests that it could be a firm favourite. The writing is also of a higher quality than the average series. David Grimstone's writing style helps keep the tension ticking over. It's action-packed, dramatic, and perfect for confident readers to imagine themselves in the same position (and be glad that they're not). The Gladiator Boy series is brimming with potential. Who knows what the future holds for any of them? Naturally, they're scared, but there's an element of excitement too. They form friendships, even though they'll eventually be rivals. However, the cliffhanger makes it feel like half a book, and shouldn't be considered unless you intend to buy the whole series.ĭecimus Rex is kidnapped by slave takers and taken to gladiator school, where he'll face off against other kidnapped children. Summary: The first book in the Gladiator Boy gets everything off to a nice start.
