Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Chris Leo

The Hammer is a novel that should resonate with its target "young adult" audience and older readers alike. Don't be fooled by the cover: this is a well-crafted and intriguing story that quickly draws the reader into Corvan's above ground and subterranean worlds. There is a cinematic quality to the author's descriptions and narrative flow; I couldn't help but think this novel deserves its own cinematic score. The story arc allows for a feeling of completion, yet also leaves room for a continuation of Corvan's adventures. Recommended.
