The Cat in the Cradle (Loka Legends #1) - Jay Bell I loved this book. The world building, to me, was incredibly complex while still easy to follow and instead of making this a really long review, I suggest you read Kassa's review. She did a great job on trying to explain what the world was like.

Besides the fact that I loved the fantasy aspect of the book, I really liked the plot and the characters. While the world was complex, the plot was easy to follow which made it all the more enjoyable. I liked the fact that the world was built around colors and has a certain magical power attached to each color. It was funny and interesting to see the adventures play out for Dylan, Tyjinn and Kio while they explored, and tried to warn, each person attached to the colors.

The characters are likable from the start. Dylan, a bored, seventeen year old and Kio, a talking cat, make a hilarious pair. Being best friends all their lives makes the responses and bickering between the two extremely funny. I think Tyjinn was my favorite. He knows from the start that he loves Dylan but he still has issues from his past that he can't get over which is why I liked him so much. I did love Dylan and Kio but Tyjinn is still my favorite.

I'm curious to whether there will be a sequel or not. While the ending isn't a cliff-hanger, it was still a bit open-ended which made it feel like a set-up for another story. I hope there will be one because I'd like to read more about the adventures Dylan, Kio, and Tyjinn get into as well as more into Tyjinn and Dylan's new relationship.

Overall, an awesome book. I loved the world and I loved the characters and I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great fantasy. terrific
