Cloak of the Light by Chuck Black

Want to gain special abilities? What if those special abilities revealed a terrifying world?

Chuck Black kicks off a new series called Wars of the Realm with book 1: Cloak of the Light.

A physics experiment leaves Drew Carter blind. As his sight returns, he discovers he has special talents.

This book was slow to get going for me. It takes a while for Black to get his characters formed. For some readers, this may cause them to abandon the story too early. Stick with it because this promises to be a great ride.

Fans of Frank Peretti's early "Darkness" books may sink their teeth into this story with glee as we find ourselves neck-deep in spiritual warfare.

This book/series is written with young teens in mind so keep that in mind as you read the obvious good vs evil plot points.

All in all a decent, quick read.
