“This Young Adult book has the best of the genre; great characters, action-packed plot, lots of twists. But it also offers two unexpected additional elements (pardon the pun on the title). The main character has his share of doubts and insecurities that readers can identify with, rather than being "the fearless hero". Secondly, it has the main character grapple with complex dilemmas and decisions based on finding his true values.

Parents and teachers can confidently recommend this to their young folk as an exciting book to read that has some substance and is worthy of discussion afterwards. And it's just a great fun read for all ages.”

“It’s rare for a sequel to capture the magic of the first book in a series but I need to say I’m heavily impressed. It’s so awesome to rejoin these familiar characters and watch them tackle even larger stakes. This is a world that is expanding with every page and I truly believe there’s something for everyone in this book. I cannot wait to see what’s in store for Minisc and the gang.”

“The Hero of Light is a well written entertaining read that kept my interest from the moment I picked it up. This surprised me as it is not a genre that I would normally gravitate to. However, it pulled me in with strong characters and underlying values subtly revealed. I look forward to the next volume!”

Dorothy Garlough

“I loved reading Elements-Volume 1! It is definitely NOT the kind of book I would usually read, but boy did it ever keep me hooked. It kept getting better the further I got in the novel, and the writing was perfectly descriptive. It was basically like watching a fantasy movie in my head, BUT I WAS READING! I can’t wait for Volume 2.”

“As someone who has trouble staying focused, Elements kept with hooked with its easy to read writing style and a cast of colourful characters that stayed floating in my mind long after I read the final page. This is the ideal book if you’re looking to let your imagination wander and explore an alternate world packed with creative set pieces and dynamic action. I cannot wait for whatever comes next!”

“My daughter who has tried her hand at some writing, she seems to enjoy it and has quite the imagination received this book from Will (signed copy) with some words of encouragement, what a great young man! My daughter couldn’t put the book down and refused to go out playing with her friends until she finished it, she has since read it a second time and it has pushed her into her own writing even more. Good on ya Will, keep it up and make sure you keep penning your thoughts and imagination, I know Erin wants to see more of your work.”

Jim. K

“I bought this book for my two boys. My oldest (9 years old), has always had a hard time reading and getting into a book. He instantly connected with this book and was excited to read it each night before bed. Time away from the screen is a positive in itself, but through the book he also learns about morals and self confidence as well. So glad we picked this up for the kids!!”
