The Hunger by Michael D. Young Book Review

"Feed your Hunger.

In a distant, war-torn land, every man, woman and child must either consume the magical substance known as Sustenance or succumb to the Hunger. Those who succumb develop deformities and face exile — or even death.

The scholar Azil wants nothing more than to lead a tranquil life and beat back the Hunger. But when a mysterious assassin tries to kill Azil, and a stranger shows up at his door challenging him to join her on a quest, he embarks on a dangerous journey to steal the sacred gems of Sustenance guarded in a forbidden fortress. To get there, Azil must venture through a land of floating cities, ravenous mage wraiths, ax-wielding warriors, and bloodthirsty bandits.

But with the sacred gems of Sustenance come volatile magic — magic so strange and dangerous, that the prophecies foretell it could usher in a golden age, or turn its wielder into the darkest of villains."

Honestly, this book wasn't for me although I love the fantasy genre. This book is a world full of magical people and magical animals, with several plot twists. The main characters are in search of the pure Truth. The problem is figuring out who the main characters are.

To me the book was confusing for too long. Each chapter begins with a diary entry from a different character. It wasn't until far into the book that you figured which of those characters was the main one, and what the plot of the book was.

Overall, I found the book hard to follow and the characters hard to get behind. I had a difficult time wanting to read it. Overall it became a good book, and I understand what the author was trying to accomplish. But, if you don't hook me by the second chapter, I'm not going to want to read more, or pick up the book to finish it.
