James D'Arienzo Jr., Woodbyrne: The Fallen Forest

James D'Arienzo Jr. Woodbyrne: The Fallen Forest was by far one of the best books I have ever read! I want to know when the sequel is coming out. I probably sound like a loser because I'm a teenager and everybody tells me I'm too old for this kinda stuff, but oh well. If this book were to be made a movie it would get 4 stars and I would go see it everyday.

This is an excellent first fantasy in a three-part series by the author. The incompetent meddling of two wizard apprentices results in the calling forth of an uncontrollable demon from the underworld. Thus starts a 200-year takeover of Woodbyrne Forest. Prince Aaron must rise above his station in his kingdom to establish a critical alliance with the forest elves to throw out the demon and his henchmen. Needless to say, obstacle to the process pop up everywhere. A classic fantasy format, the author does a good job of storytelling with all the right elements.
