Two brothers, Haydn and Ewan, have to deal with more than 
the loss of their mother. One night while they were 
sleeping, Ewan had a dream that called him to an arch they 
discovered, which turned out to be a portal to a new land 
of Karac Tor. His brother followed him into the portal. 
They met several people in this new land. Flogg the gnome, 
Sorge the warrior monk, Asandra the mirling, and several 
other characters become their allies. The boys discover 
that this land is slowly falling to the evil sorceress, 
Nemesia, and that they were Called to stop her. Working 
bravely for the defeat of Nemesia, they face revenge, 
kidnapping, deceit, and mysteries that aren't so easy to 
solve.

Opinion: 

As I started to read The Book of Names I was 
overcome with how unique and awesome it was. I can't 
exactly put my finger on what was so amazing, but this 
book possesses strong qualities that are wonderful for a 
fantasy. The characters are extremely diverse in 
personality, and there are several with great character 
foil. I love the vocabulary because it made me pay 
attention better to the words instead of just flying 
through the story. The plot is extremely well-developed 
through the entire story. However, many events happen near 
the end that I couldn't comprehend as much because they 
didn't have enough detail. Overall, The Book of Names was 
a very good read and I recommend it to any fantasy 
lover.
