Keeper of Reign by Emma Right

About the Book
Books written in blood. Most are lost, their Keepers with them. A curse that befell a people. A Kingdom with no King. Life couldn’t get more harrowing for the Elfies, a blend of Elves and Fairies. Or for sixteen-year-old Jules Blaze. Or could it?
For Jules, the heir of a Keeper, no less, suspects his family hides a forgotten secret. It was bad enough that his people, the Elfies of Reign, triggered a curse which reduced the entire inhabitants to a mere inch centuries ago. All because of one Keeper who failed his purpose. Even the King’s Ancient Books, did not help ward off that anathema.

Now, Gehzurolle, the evil lord, and his armies of Scorpents, seem bent on destroying Jules and his family. Why? Gehzurolle’s agents hunt for Jules as he journeys into enemy land to find the truth. Truth that could save him and his family, and possibly even reverse the age-long curse. Provided Jules doesn't get himself killed first.

My Thoughts
While this story wasn't quite my genre or my age group is was a pretty good read. The plot line was interesting, well executed, and the author did a good job of keeping you on your toes as to which side characters were on. Sorry this review is so short but I read this over several weeks so it's a little harder to piece my thoughts together especially since it wasn't my type of book. I would recommend this for middle graders who like fantasy!
