Bear Knight

by James R Hannibal
Enclave Escape. (Lightraider Academy: Bk. 2). Feb. 2023. 400p. Tr $24.99. ISBN 9798886050301.
COPY ISBN
Gr 7 Up–Inspired by the Christian TTRPG DragonRaid, the second book in the “Lightraider Academy” series picks up where the first installment left off. Connor and Kara are students at the academy, at the cusp of being promoted to cadet scouts. The two face new pressures as the revived academy fights to stop the invasion of dark creatures into the land. The morality lessons are heavy-handed, but the pacing and action sequences pick up at the halfway mark. Main characters present as white, with some coded diversity in the secondary cast.
VERDICT Not recommended for purchase unless patrons are in search of Christian fantasy.
