3 Stars/5
Thanks to Netgalley and Warner Press for giving me this
book to review.
Jesse has a crippled leg, and after his parents disappear
he is left to live on the mercy of his aunt and uncle, who run Mir’s inn. After
3 members of the Youth Guard, Silas, Rae, and the injured Pavel, come
requesting aid at the inn, Jesse is asked by Pavel to go with Rae and Silas,
and complete their patrols mission of extracting the missing tribute from the
Sheik of Da’armos in the form of the Da’armon people’s sacred jewel, the
Scorpion Jewel.
Quest for the Scorpion’s Jewel was a good book, with a
few semi-expected plot twists, which is set in a different world, without any
magic (so far at least). The book can drag you in, and has good pacing, however,
there are quite a lot of questions which have not been answered which I hope will
be answered in Escape from Riddler’s pass.
Jesse is quite a nice boy, who seems to be a bit too
willing to volunteer for the most dangerous of jobs. Rae is quite aggressive
and confrontational, but very loyal to her friends.
In conclusion, Quest for Scorpions Jewel is a good book,
and I would recommend it to people who enjoyed the Temereaire series by Naomi Novik
