![[McKenney, J.G.]のEon's Door: The Soul of Nature (English Edition)](https://images-fe.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51a5ijLp-AL._SY346_.jpg)
I found this book to be a refreshingly good read on the good versus evil concept. While there were battle scenes and violence, it wasn't particularly gory or long-winded in terms of fight scenes. The characters were well thought out and interesting.
My complaint with the story is that it moved somewhat slowly. Specifically, the author spent time on details that were of less importance, but didn't spend enough time of details that are important. For example, I would like to know how/why Shorran was corrupted. Also, I would have liked to know more about the water people and Nyad. Furthermore, I could not really get a true sense of the size of the Nuruth and Chrysos. I think the only description relevant to size for the black wolf was that the riders were 8 feet from the ground on his back.
Despite my complaint, I recommend this book as a good read that is safe for young adults as well.
