Great YA fantasy with NO STUPID LOVE TRIANGLE. Or the equally stupid I'm-dying-of-love thing. It is also refreshing to read a fantasy that has some diversity in it.

Best of all, the christian element is NOT hitting you over the head at every turn. It's nuanced, thus more realistic and a good example of how to do it right. ( )

The elven world of Allyra is attacked by the Spider King and destroyed in one battle. In the midst of the battle, the seven heirs of the leaders of Allyra are kidnapped and hidden on earth. There they are adopted and raised as normal earth children. They have no idea of their real heritage. Now thirteen years old, the Age of Reckoning, the elven lords are coming into their powers as teenagers on earth, learning the truth about their identityand being hunted down and attacked by the sentinels of the Spider King.

I got this audiobook during a sale on audible. It took me a long time to get around to listening to it and when I finally did, I enjoyed immensely. The narrator was good and the story was very good. There is lots of background and mythology development. It's definitely from the Lord of the Rings family tree.

I would normally recommend this book without hesitation but I learned after listening to the book that (1) it is part of a planned trilogy and (2) the publisher is dropping the series. I'm extremely disappointed that there's a possibility that I won't get to finish the series someday. Hopefully, if they can't find a new publisher, the authors will considering self-publishing as an ebook.

Curse of the Spider King is a great novel of two or three boys who figure out they are the princes of a totally different dimension land. They have to escape the horrors that they go through and have to battle many creatures. This book got me excited when I got it and it was filled with a novel of purification. This novel has may twists and turns, but has its moments. The Spider King wants to kill these boys and sends an army of soldiers riding spiders as seen on the cover. These soldiers come into the boys' dimension and start to take over. This starts a war between dimensions and makes this novel big.
I still remember when I got this book. I was eight years old when I got this and I loved the authors of this novel. They were very nice and loved to see me reading this book. My opinion was that this was a very great book for fantasy-loving people. The dislike is the twists in this of two dimensions. I love this a lot though and love to read the others. This novel is good for fantasy readers who love surprises. ( )

Found it very enjoyable. this book is a good read for a teen or a more advance jr reader. The knights with shinning armour read with a twist. Instead of the traditional war horse you have spiders. This is about teens with special gifts, inherited from there Elven parents. ( )

Amazing! These two authors brought seven different central characters into one plot! It was masterfully done. A great book. ( )
