The Warrior Heir by Cinda Williams Chima, a book review

Cinda Williams Chima weaves of a tale of fantasy about Jack coming of age in the present day amid medevil rules for those with gifyed with magical abilities in The Warrior Heir by Cinda Williams Chima. We meet Jackson as he is hoping to go out for the soccer team. Very early on, he has to choose between tryouts and following through with doctor's orders concerning medicine he has taken his whole life. His choice is the reason we have this tale to enjoy. Is he a wizard? Or a warrior?

I do recommend this novel. I am allowing my 12 year old to read it because it doesn't delve into any questionable subjects and there aren't any steamy scenes. I like that magic is set in present day and still feels potentially plausible. It's easy to get into this story as a female reader and I imagine, since the main character is male, it would be even easier to do so for a guy. I'm looking forward to reading more of Chima's work. I'll let you know what I think of what I read.

Have you read The Warrior Heir by Cinda Williams Chima? What did you think of it?
