The first book of The Jordan of Algoran Series left me truly wanting more.
I love how Allen Steadham took an ordinary girl and inserted her into an extraordinary place.
The emotional conflict that Jordan represents is truly relatable and realistic. Who wouldn't want to return home and would try to at any cost?
The plot is much deeper and although it seems that some things are too fantastical for belief, this is another world, another system, another galaxy....who knows how things can happen elsewhere in this universe? And it makes the storyline that much deeper.
The supporting characters added such depth and I quickly found myself loving them, too. This book is multilayered in showing the complexity of human nature and life. Social issues, political issues, religious issues, and culture issues are all wrapped into the words, yet so subtle. It added that multi-faceted read that so many books need.
Life is complex. Allen shows this well with Jordan's World. And I definitely want to read more of her and her family's story.
