Summary: Hooked on the First Sentence
Review: Communing with nature and awareness of self for fortitude are portrayed in PROTECTORS OF KLAIRN. I enjoyed the focus on tenacity and endurance for gain. In the midst of these challenges Erin writes with an undestanding and gentle spirit. Her focus on self-control in the midst of trial in a fiction setting make it easier to explore the necessity of this high achievement. I was hooked by the first sentence. by Stephanie S.

Summary: Dramatic, adventerous, empowering
Review: Erin Elder's "Protectors of Klairn" is an empowering, visual journey that I highly recommend for all ages. There is the budding (and very authentically uncomfortable) romance between the heroine Iona and Lexti, the drama of the eco-trails where plants and animals communicate to help or hinder, and the beautifully described world of Klairn itself, a montage of stunning vistas. The young Iona Stonefinder is at a crossroads in her young life; duty and loyalty to family versus following her heart and setting off on her own chosen path. She is not quite certain of her fate, but shows the courage needed to proceed towards her goal. The Protector Trails are the backdrop of a fast moving plot concerning Iona's discovery of the limits of her strength, will, trust and determination. It also tells the story of her emergence into womanhood. I found Portectors of Klairn to be a refreshing tale of intelligence, kindness and wit (instead of explosions) being used to solve and overcome problems. I found the telling of her story spirited, and wished that I had book two in my hands when I had finished. Thank you Erin!

Summary: Fabulous!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed reading the first of what I hope to be more of Ms. Elder's works. The vivid descriptions of the breathtaking scenery made it easy to visualize such a beautiful planet, and to mentally place myself there. The characters were easy to identify with and care about, and the story line was easy to follow without being simplistic. I strongly recommend this book to my adult friends, as well as to the young adult students that I teach.

Review: Lively and imaginative. This book kept my attention to the end. With a strong flavor of Xanth and Hary Potter rolled into one, this book is a very enjoyable read for teenagers and adults alike.

Review: My teens and I love this adventure! It's empowering and fun. My young teens can't put it down and talk about wanting to be Iona (the lead). This is great reading if your kids are a bit too mature for Harry Potter, as my 12 year old absolutely loves this story and can't wait for the sequel. I appreciate the author writing about strong, smart and sensible young women going after their dreams dispite obstacles. It's exactly what our young teens need today. Thank you, Erin Elder!

Summary: Couldn't put it down!
Review: Protectors of Klairn, by Erin Elders was innovative and refreshing. She paints a picture of a world that lives and breathes and you feel like you are right there with Iona, the main character. Even through the last pages, the story kept me going. I heartily reccomend this for science fiction and fantasy lovers of all ages. I can't wait to read the next one.
