Cloaked Legends by S. Bingham is a fantasy adventure about a group of people chosen to protect the world from a powerful force called The Shadow. The story begins with Jack, who wakes up in a strange place wearing a blue cloak, and meets others in different colored cloaks. An ancient figure known as the Creator tells them they have special powers and must use them to guard the earth and its people through many generations. Each protector is given a staff and a unique gift, and they learn that their main enemy, The Shadow, will try to spread chaos and darkness. The story follows Jack as he tries to understand his new role, control his abilities, and work with the other protectors. Alongside magical battles and mysterious visions, the story shows Jack’s everyday life, his love for skiing, and the challenges he faces as he moves between the ordinary world and his duty as a protector.

S. Bingham’s writing is clear and easy to follow, making the story enjoyable for readers who like both action and character development. The plot moves at a steady pace, mixing exciting scenes with quieter moments where Jack reflects on his mission and interacts with others. I liked how the author balanced magical action with real-life details, such as Jack’s time on the ski slopes and his encounters with new friends. The characters feel genuine, each with their strengths and struggles, and the themes of teamwork, sacrifice, and fighting darkness are woven throughout the story. Reading this book made me think about the importance of courage and the value of collaboration for the greater good. I think anyone who enjoys fantasy with a mix of adventure and heart will find Cloaked Legends both entertaining and meaningful.
