Summary

Young Mackinsi Wrighton has always been a dreamer. After he accidentally uncovers a hidden world around him, he discovers he is a Stormbreaker...a warrior of light destined to face an ancient evil called "Destroyer". Possessing supernatural powers and weapons he has no idea how to use, Mackinsi must unite the other Stormbreakers against Destroyer's fiends before Destroyer pulls our dimension into a relic of evil called the Heartstone. 

Along his quest, Mackinsi will find love, loss, and adventure as well as a secret that will shake the very foundation of reality itself. 

From sword fights on the skyscrapers of New York City to the underwater grottoes of prophecy, Stormbreaker will take you on an action-packed thrill ride of imagination and modern-day magic and leave you breathless. Described as a combination of The Matrix, Constantine, and the Lord of the Rings, Stormbreaker is a modern fantasy brimming with originality.

A Modern Fantasy Adventure, Indeed!

The story was reminiscent of the same kind of fantasy fun I've grown up with since I was a youth! And, kudos to the narrator for his vocal skills and characterizations. They felt spot on and never distracted from the story. In addition to being an author, Matt Sconce is also a filmmaker, and as such he was very good at not only making you feel like you were watching a movie, but by reading/listening to it you were a part of it. He weaves the kind of imagery that made me think of 80s/90s fantasy adventures, as well as the kind of themes we experience in good versus evil classics such as Star Wars, the Matrix, and Lord of the Rings. That being said, I will say the book was also more PG-13 than I expected. I would not say this is a book for kids, but definitely more for teens and young adults. One significant highlight for me was when Mackinsi (the protagonist) made his speech when he first meets at the Gathering. I'm not a teen anymore, but that made me identify with the lead more than any other section. That, for me, was the kind of moment I envision for myself as the hero in my story. Well written, Matt, I enjoyed it!

Full of adventure!

If you like adventure, suspense, and action then you will love this story! Matt Sconce's creative use of imagery makes you feel like you are part of the story. This would be a great story to use in the classroom to teach the hero's journey. Students would love this story since it the protagonist is a high school student. The kindle version is long (just over 9 hours) which is a bit much for me since I tend to read fast, but it was enjoyable. The person reading the story was never dull or boring and added a variety of voices to make the story more interesting. Overall I would highly recommend this story for all ages! I'm looking forward to a sequel or a movie adaptation.
