Review of The City of the Golden Sun

By Jennie S. Bev, Author and Managing Editor, BookReviewClub.com

The City of the Golden Sun is the second in a trilogy. The first of the trilogy The Fisherman’s Son is about six boys trapped in an ancient city underneath the ocean. The same characters now return to this magnificent city “The City of the Golden Sun” with a strong message.

Childhood adventure, friendship, courage and compassion are the theme of this sequel, which is depicted with detailed and colorful setting and strong narration. Author Peake’s story telling ability is remarkable; readers can be easily taken seamlessly into the underwater city where dolphins and fishes live harmoniously with people. The plots are pretty captivating that we can relate to them pretty effortlessly.

Overall, Author Peake, once again, captivates the readers with vivid imagination and enormous details so realistic that the readers could feel as if they experience the adventure by themselves.

I will not be surprised if the trilogy becomes best-selling children’s books. The author deserves it.
