Sahara Foley’s Karrin Warrior Child is an enchanting urban fantasy novel. It follows the life of Karrin, a young girl who was abandoned at a home for unwanted children. With little memory of her real family and where she is from, she still maintains her dignity and courage. At the home, she meets a terrible matron, guards, and girls. But despite the hardships of living in the home, she experiences kindness from the facility cook, aptly named “Cook”. Not only does Cook allow her to help in the kitchen, but she also ensures that she always has something to eat and a comfortable place to sleep. Over time, a beautiful relationship develops between them, climaxing in a series of sacrificial decisions. Eventually, we discover that Karrin is not your ordinary child. In fact, she is so extraordinary that she is being hunted down by those who see her as a threat.
As you read from page to page, it is hard not to root for Karrin and even learn to care for her because she’s captivating but also feels authentic. If there is one thing the author did well, it is maintaining the fast pace of the narrative. From the first to the last chapter, she captures our imagination with riveting prose and dialogue. This makes it easy to get a clear picture of what is happening at all times. Moreover, the author is adept at covering the perceptions of different characters throughout the narrative.
This is the first book in the epic Excalibur Saga series, but I think it can still be read as a stand only story. With an fascinating protagonist and a storyline infused with intrigue, science fiction fans will heartily enjoy this action-packed adventure novel. KARRIN: Warrior Child is a thrilling must read that will have you guessing to the very last page.
Well this is book three. I missed book one and two. It was a good story but confusing because you should read the first two books. It had action, adventure, sadness and evil. This wasn’t what I thought I would be reading as I devour the Sci-Fi romance books. This was sci-fi but this book was about the child Karrin. She didn’t know what she was or what kind of alien she was. She looked human but had tremendous PSI powers. I would like to read to get an ending but I think I will pass. If you like Sci-Fi with warriors and battles then this is a series for you. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
In a bleak 22nd century London, a little girl is found washed up on a beach. Deemed worthless, she’s taken to the Home, where children of no societal worth are put into service away from citizens. Matron takes an instant dislike to the little girl, but Cook sees a spark in the bedraggled child who calls herself Karrin and takes her under her wing, knowing the girl is special and needs extra protection. She knows how much that might cost her, and those around her, but she realizes Karrin is unlike any child she’s ever met in her 60 years.
Far away, on the planet Ispepyein, a greedy king, Kargan, and his scheming wife, Zelka, are in search of a girl who escaped with her parents, a child of two extraordinary beings who possesses astonishing powers that will fully unleash at maturity. They call on the planet’s best assassin, Lurga, who just happens to be the Queen’s brother, to track down and kill the girl. What neither fully realizes is how much Lurga despises them, as well as their native society, where he has never fit in.
Having plucked Karrin from London after making an unbreakable — and bloody — pact with Cook, he takes her to the deserted planet Switch, where he trains her over a period of seven years, marveling at her growing powers and abilities, which he has never witnessed in another race. When he returns with Karrin to the planet to answer the call of his sister, she stuns them with her powers, fearlessness, and sheer moxie, which marks them both as targets for the corrupt couple.
Although there are female heroes aplenty these days, it’s still unusual and encouraging to see a strong male leader help a young female warrior develop and grow into her powers, as Lurga nurtures Karrin. The book’s open ending sets the stage for readers to accompany Karrin on her future journeys.
