Charlotte (184 KP) rated The Search For Synergy (The Talisman Series #1) in Books
Aug 23, 2021
I'm always excited to start a new series and I wasn't disappointed with this one.
Brett Salter has created two different but connected characters in Rome and Julien. Their personalities spark off of each other well and it's fun to see how they interact with each other.
The boys both grow in confidence and experience throughout the book, whilst still keeping their individuality and sense of humour.
The Search for Synergy puts a bit of a different light on the myths of dragons and Camelot which makes me happy. It also makes me glad that it's not real, I would be so creeped out!
Not only is this the start of what looks to be a fun and interesting series but it can also be read by a broad audience. As well as being something to read alone, The Search for Synergy, could (and should) be something that is read to a group. I know I said it's a teen fantasy but I also think it would be good for kick-starting the imagination of a slightly younger reader.
