The Stonekeeper

This was an incredibly fast read, maybe 30 minutes or so long. It's full of beautiful imagery, simple dialog, and surprises aplenty. Being something written for young adults, there's a lot of archetypes to be found: the chosen one, unknown and dangerous magics, and the deceased parent, however they all tie together very neatly and the story makes you care despite the genre-standard tropes.

If I had to pick one thing that this book does incredibly well, it's the action panels and how they create a fantastic sense of motion.
