Many comics that are part of Dawn of DC have been set up by major stories that recently happened in the DC Universe. The conclusion of comic events such as Dark Crisis on Infinite Earthsand DC Universe: Lazarus Planetact as springboards for these new comics. They look at what happens next for certain heroes and villains or justify new status quos. How do you describe something indescribable? I read somewhere that the best word for things that are bigger than words is wonder. Dawn of Wonder does so much right, but its characterisation is strong and takes the story to a new level. Aden is a character with a strong moral compass but has an extremely hot headedness to him. I really loved that; it made him more human. Afterall, our childhood is what makes us. He doesn’t let past trauma define him but ultimately it is still apart of him. Damn this book was so good!

This is a coming-of-age story, and a truly amazing start to a series. Our young hero, Aedan, is transported, through profoundly traumatic events, from his rural Mistyvales to an elite soldiering academy where his skills, personality, ability, and purpose are honed, and a couple of aspects of the bigger picture are tantalizingly revealed. As memorable as the voyage is, that brings Aedan to the academy at Castath, it is his time here which sees the reader absorbed into, and feeling a part of, the growth of the characters as well as the story. And yes, there are magical elements, which are introduced just lightly enough but with the right amount of gravitas and mystery to enthrall(though it's looking like book two will actually be a feast in this respect.) Following this loss, young Aeden’s secret shame is revealed as he and his family have to flee their bucolic home. This shame-an abusive father-is one that will haunt Aeden throughout the rest of the story. It’s a fatal flaw that he did not deserve or cause, but one that will forever define him, rendering an otherwise courageous boy cowardly. Overall this was well written but I can see where a little more polish would make it a more powerful story. Since this is, I believe, the fourth released revision, that is obviously something that the author cares about so I have no doubt that this may become better with time and attention. And likely the following books in the series will also improve given the author's experience after releasing this story.This book is only the beginning of the series and I have no doubt that this series will become a favourite for me with the next book becuase of how this one ended. It's dramatic and exciting, fun and dark and there's magic, mystery and treachery around every corner. I suppose it may be compared to Raymond Fiest's early work, and maybe Elizabeth Moon's Paksenarrion series. It is very well written and has enough body to grasp the listener by the throat and drag them in. The theme of the book isn't a new one but the interpretation, twists and turns are very, VERY well executed.

Dawn of Wonder is the epic tale of twelve-year old Aedan, a bright boy from the Mistyvales, who after a series of misfortune is exiled out of his home town and separated from his closest friends. And so begins his journey in the marshal's academy to better himself and bring revenge to those who wronged him. Glavni lik je dvanaestogodišnji Aedan, dečkić bujne mašte, pustolovnog duha i strateškog uma (wait, what?), sin oca šumara (a kasnije doznajemo da je zapravo opaki kriminalni lord (wtf??)) ups, spoiler) i majke pisarice koja ovdje nije uopće važna. No, Aedanov otac ponekad, je li, opsjednut demonom Mladena Grdovića, priušti Aedanu nekoliko modrica i posjekotina, čime se ovaj mora cijelo vrijeme nositi, a mnogo kasnije kad se opet susretnu, Aedan mu pokazuje kako „bota ima dva kraja.“ Hah! Dawn then decided to take matters into her own hands. Flipping through Hank's yearbook, Dawn managed to gain details on the said coach's whereabouts and went to pursue him. She approached Vincent's front door that night and demanded that he confess his crimes. Refusing to be turned away, Dawn barged into his home where she was eventually held at gunpoint. Managing to disarm him, she engaged in physical combat but was outmatched. Close to being shot, Hank arrived and prevented it from escalating. To Dawn's surprise, she found further incriminating evidence on Vincent's computer and refused to leave when asked to, making her present for when Hank beat him to death. After they returned home, they became intimate and shared a night of lovemaking. Despite that, the next morning, Dawn told him that it would be better to keep their relationship professional and act as if nothing ever happened. [1] Becoming Dove [ ]This is highly personal and subjective, and is closely related to the similarity and "like-mindedness" between the reader and the author. I can't say I got too invested in the characters or the story. Emotional investment is important since it makes me (the reader) care for outcomes in the story, get excited about the obstacles and weep for the deaths of friends. Needless to say, I never wept, or lost sleep because of the excitement. There is one exception: the first 5 -10% of the book is more intriguing and interesting than the rest of the book and actually gave me some higher hopes about the book, unfortunately the quality declined after that. The Dawn of DC is here, and the future continues to get brighter - but dangers still lurk just around the corner. It will be a lot of fun if it’s anything like Jeremy Adam’s Flash run. There has been a lot of cool ideas, breathing new life into Wally West.

One theme that this book kind of explored that I did really like was physical abuse and how the victim is effected even after the abuse has stopped. I really didn’t expect that going into this story but really enjoyed that aspect of it and how it explored that recovery from being abused is a long road and is not something you magically get better from as soon as the abuse stops. One day Aedan and the rest of the village are called together to hide in the grand manor house as it's rumoured that slavers are coming to their village to trap them. Aedan and his friends are suspicious of the man who's come to report the slavers so he and his friends decide to warn the next village over and this starts a rebellion that the town see as divided loyalties.
