In The Cydarions, a fantasy novel by Adrian Cox, God bestowed powers upon a group of loyal followers, creating the Cydarions. The Cydarions traveled the world to defeat and exterminate evil, created the brotherhood, and devoted their lives to serving God. Jodrell had a strong feeling that the Cydarions—himself, Xania, Nyk, and Pace—had been called, so he asked Xania to wake everyone up. The group was led through a sequence of adventures to find the evil that needed to be destroyed by the use of a portal and the Calling. The group traveled to the planet Asto, where they met Beau Dary, who guided them to Talistown, the capital. Immediately after their journey started, the group's dynamics were completely impacted, and they had to make adjustments.
Adrian Cox has created a universe with intricate characters that captivated me from the beginning, and they made for a genuinely immersive reading experience. Each chapter in The Cydarions began with a picture of the character being introduced, and the character's background was described in detail. The plot developed with every new chapter and was action-packed. The story moved quickly along, thanks to the enduring mystery and fascination that persisted throughout. There were several intriguing subplots, with many characters interacting. This book is a page-turner, and I found it hard to put it down. Throughout the story, there were recurring themes of acceptance, identity, and fate. The story was masterfully written and exceeded my expectations. It is an engaging read that I recommend to fans of fantasy and adventure.
