I thought this was a really great book. It was a bit harder to get into, but completely worth it. Once the book starts it is a captivating story with quality writing and a very good plot. It has creative twists at every turn with the perfect amount of action, adventure, love and camaraderie. I loved how it goes into the different friendships and bonds that Rex builds with the people he meets, and how they become his comrades. I absolutely loved how this story comes together. It is amazing, absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend this read.
