Albrek’s
Tomb
A
book review by Dan S.
Albrek’s
Tomb is the third book from the Adventurers
Wanted series, topping the previous two books Slathbog’s Gold, and The Horn
of Moran. The book is great if you liked the Perseus Jackson or Gods of
Olympus series. The book has many twists and turns, a fast paced plot, and
hooks your attention easily. This is a great book for 4-8th grade
students, and also good for young adults. It will completely blow you away, and
is just undeniably happy at the end. The book, for once, is not to be judged by
its title.
In
the book, Alexander Taylor and his friends go on a quest to find the ring of
searching. The dwarf mines of Thraxon were drying up, and the kingdom was
losing its money. Albrek, a dwarf prince, had taken the ring of searching to
find new mines. He had never come back from the journey, 2,000 years ago, (400
to humans, essentially.) to the Isle of Bones, the Lost Mountains, and the
Golden Rocks. He had a party of 500 dwarves with him, to deposit a third or so
per place. The ring of searching would be in Albrek’s tomb, hence the title of
the story. On the way, the party, led by Alex’s friend Thrang, would face many
trials yet to come.
There
still was a small amount of sadness to the story, a tragedy on the isle of
bones, a necromancer at the lost mountains, and a Thunderbird at the golden
rocks. Alex and his friends, Katrina Dayyed among them, would face other
trials, including the empty tower. He passed through many towns, and gets
challenged harder than ever before.
So,
this is a great book for 4-8th graders, and possibly young adults.
It has a fast pace plot, and gets your attention. So many things happen, and
the plot repeatedly twists. It has a
great ending; undeniably it is a happy ending. It is also the third book in the
Adventurers Wanted series. So, if you
like other similar series, then get reading!
