Lapidius: Book 1 (A Nation Found Series) by Matthew Runals – Review by Jenni Bishop

Lapidius by Matthew Runals
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It’s easy to become caught up in this YA tale as Runals paints a vividly rich narrative of a life at military school called Lapidius and those of the students. His passion shines through his words. At times I felt the story had a few repetitions and was sometimes a bit wordy, but I enjoyed this tale non the less. This intriguing tale has a bit of everything from a dystopian world with fantasy, sci fi to a touch of horror with a fast-moving plot.
Lapidius takes readers on an epic journey through a magical world filled with unique cultures, creatures and characters. A world where survival is the name of the game where battles, greed, danger, monsters and adventure become one in the fight.
I watched with keen interest as the children of the future learned, developed and & grew in strength, bravery and came together with conviction, a far cry from their humble beginnings. Compelling characters Kyle, Joey, Brian, and Lucas learn to fight for what is theirs and the bond that surrounds them.
I enjoyed this Young Adult book. I’m 62 and a woman and it kept me entertained and reading to the end. It’s a great tale for those who enjoy battles and adventure.
