Lapidius: Book 1 (A Nation Found Series) by Matthew Runals – Review by Kerry Carr

Lapidius by Matthew Runals
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in A Nation Found Series and the first book I have read by this author. This is a YA adult fantasy adventure which has so much happening that it will keep you on the edge of your seat.
I wasn’t too sure what to expect going into this book however I was not disappointed. The author opens us up to a world where it seems all hope is lost until the youth are given something to fight for. The characters is the book are well written and I loved how the boys had banter between themselves just as you know that boys do in real life. Every aspect of this book was well thoughtout out and the characters and surroundings were brought to life.

Joey and his friends and their family’s are struggling to survive as times are hard and their town is losing all hope.
To save their son’s, Joey and his friends are sent to Lapidius. Lapidius is a school where the boys will be educated and feed well.
However things aren’t all that they seem and when they arrive the boys realise the Lapidius is more of a training camp that a school and they are being trained to fight a war that gets closer by the day.
Add to this all the mystery that surrounds Lapidius, the monsters and the adventures that Joey and his friends find themselves on and this becomes one book that you will not be able to put down.
