Arias Archer &
the Shadow Cloak: (Dark Fantasy for Children) by Hamzah Malik is
a well-plotted fantasy with a well-imagined world and a novel concept, a story
that features an equally lovable protagonist. On the eve of her thirteenth
birthday, Kara’s soul leaves her body. But Arias will stop at nothing to find
her, and that means stepping beyond the boundary of the world as he has known
it into the dreaded Falasia — the dwelling place of lost souls. The stakes are
stacked against Arias and when he finds out that the evil king Kazzabus has the
sinister plan of stitching Kara into a cloak made of broken souls, he becomes more
desperate. But can enlisting the help from Sakundra — the leader of the rebel
group in Falasia —help him save Kara from a cruel fate? As the tension
escalates, Arias quickly discovers that the very fate of Falasia depends on
him, but is he ready to face Kazzabus, the most skilled warrior of the land?
This is dark fantasy at its best and a tale that
will instantly transport YA fantasy fans and Children. The story has a
compelling premise and the readers will find themselves irresistibly drawn to
the protagonist, a young character who seems unprepared for the adventure ahead
of him but who is determined to save someone dear to him. The plot is
well-chiseled and tautly written, with twists that are unpredictable. The
setting is a world that is magical and the success in creating this world is
evident in the compelling imagery that is imprinted in the minds of the
readers. Hamzah Malik is a master storyteller with a great sense of grim humor,
a unique gift for character, and a setting that is hugely imaginative. It is
vivid and transporting, a tale that will fascinate fans of fantasy. Arias
Archer & the Shadow Cloak is beautifully written, expertly paced, and
features scenes that are cinematic and engrossing. It is a creepy slow burn
that pays much attention to the inner world of the characters as much as to the
mystery at the heart of the conflict. A masterpiece indeed!
