In Search of the Golden City by Mia Lutsch

I don’t think I’ve read anything quite like this book before.  I honestly wasn’t sure at first if I would like it.  I was surprised that it kept my attention better than I first thought. Akim , a man who leaves home to learn the trade of furniture making.  Akim apprentices with a hermit named Asteodor.  Akim soon gets called on to help the king. Akim has special abilities too.  I think the characters were exciting and different.  The story was unique as well.  Overall, I was pleased with this book.  * I received this book from the author–this is my honest review*  4/5
