Carmen's Reviews > The Boy who was King

The Boy Who Was King is a gripping coming-of-age tale that follows the journey of a boy called Azure. After wandering into a village with no memory of his name or past life, Azure starts over with new family and friends. Along the way, Azure learns some difficult life lessons about love, loss, friendship, pain, loyalty, integrity, and goodness.

At times, the events that take place in this book can be painful, even angering. But giving up on Azure’s journey was never an option for me. I became very much invested in this story and wanted nothing but happiness for Azure and his loved ones. I would love to see more stories about Azure in the future.

The two things I enjoyed most about TBWWK were the spiritual symbolism and the realness of the characters. You don’t need to live in a certain part of the world or era in time in order to find something or someone whom you can relate to in this story. At the same time, you also feel as though you are learning a lot about life and are being left with much to consider. I know I will be reflecting on TBWWK for quite some time.

If you are looking for a powerful and fresh read, then I highly recommend this new release.

Thank-you very much to the author for sharing this ARC with me in exchange for a fair and honest review. My views and opinions are my own.
