review 1: After discovering Messenger’s “Brink of Distinction” series, I was quick to jump into another series by his hand. “Wind Warrior” book one of the “World Aflame “series was entertaining, but a little too clean-teen YA for my taste. The story reminded me of Rick Riordan’s spin-offs from Percy Jackson. It is in comparable vein and clean – a wonderful opportunity for a young reader to dig into reading. For that, it deserves praise and a good rating.Wind Warriors have balanced the earth for the last couple thousand years, but Fire Warriors are up to bat and tired of waiting. Thus, a battle for survival and destruction begins. This story touches on family, supernatural, young relationships and goes above a simple good-vs-evil as both warrior sects serve a p... moreurpose. With any battle, there are power-hungry, deadly foes. But what happens when a Wind Warrior and a Fire Warrior join forces? Well…you’ll have to read to find out.Again, I highly, highly recommend this series for the young or young-at-heart. For adult readers who want a little more grit/violence/language/etc – this is too clean for you (and me).Happy Reading!!
review 2: The Wind Warrior was a great start to a YA series that's a little hard to categorize completely, but I'd say it could fall into science fiction/apocalyptic. What I really thought was really original was the system of elemental powers that people possess, including earth, wind, water and fire. There is a cycle, with each caste being in control before giving way to the next. The abilities they have aren't magical in nature, but rather supernatural powers. It was a fast read that flowed well and I really enjoyed the book. When I came to the end, it was sort of a cliff-hanger, but I really wanted to start the next book right away to find out how the story continues.As far as the main characters, I liked Xander and Sammy both, and over the course of the book, their relationship grows into something more, with Sammy recognizes that she cares about Xander and what happens to him. Out of the characters introduced in The Wind Warrior, I think my favorites would have to be Xander's grandfather and Giovanni, and it was easy to root for them because of what they were facing.My rating for The Wind Warrior, book 1 in the World Aflame series is 4/5 platypires. less
