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.

Summary: Wonderfully done!
Review: The planet of Klairn had a war-torn and industrial past that made it necessary to create an elite team of people who would seek to maintain the well-being of their planet. They were called The Protectors. Each of the twelve provinces held grueling Olympic-like trials. The winner became the Protector of their province. The contestants must be strong of mind, body, and will to earn the coveted post. Iona Stonefinder entered the trials against the wishes of her parents. Iona desired nothing more than to earn the title of Protector. Among all the other contestants, Lexti Anders would be the toughest. Iona was greatly attracted to him, however, she could not be sure that he felt the same of her. His attention could very well be a way to distract her so she would make an error and lose. ***** This book is a delight! Everything that is alive can think and make its thoughts known! Imagine wanting to climb a tree, but you must first, somehow, communicate with it for permission. Without it, the tree would beat you with its branches! All plants and animals on Klairn are this way! This first book follows the trials of the Arvendril Province. I am told the next book may begin the first mission. Espionage is often required on missions and Iona is no good in that area of skill, Lexti is though! I found myself sucked into Erin Elder's magical world and laughing aloud at several sections. I have no doubt that we will be seeing more from this author in the future! Highly recommended reading! *****
