A good start to a series, although certainly written for early teens.
The characters were engaging but the story felt disjointed in places.
It made for a quick read.

Mitchell: A Young Warrior by E.J. Bownds is a fantasy novel. Honestly, I did not enjoy this book. The plot is solid, but the story written was not. There was no feeling of surprise or anticipation, it felt like everything happening to Mitchell was too easy. Problems were dealt with too quickly with not enough tension building up. To me, it was too much of ‘hero needs to do this, oh no a problem, yay solution conveniently lands in hero’s lap, move on to the next objective’. It also felt like there were too many fantasy clichés bundled up with each of the characters introduced. If the novel was longer with more descriptive detail, it might not have felt so jarring while reading.
I would recommend this more to a middle school aged reader, rather than a young adult reader.

This E-ARC was provided to me via Netgalley in exchange for a honest review.

Once again I thank NetGalley for providing me with a Kindle version of this book to read and honestly review.
This is the first book in what I expect to be an entertaining fantasy series, featuring our brave and fearless hero. Imaginative and descriptive with an engaging cast of characters the story flew by, though I suspect it is aimed at a much younger audience than this particular decrepit old bloke. Nevertheless i thoroughly enjoyed and recommend it.

Thankyou to NetGalley, BooksGoSocial and the author, E J Bownds, for the opportunity to read a digital copy of Mitchell; A Young Warrior in exchange for an honest an unbiased opinion.
I thought this book was a good, quick read with engaging characters. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

I liked this story and I hope to read the second one it was a great story with a great story line and great characters.
