The kids learn Ahoratos has been created by the Source (which seems to be a reference to God) and they must fight an enemy who opposes them and will try to capture them. The scriptures aren’t identified by biblical reference, but some will be recognizable. Ruwach shares some scriptures with them as wisdom for battle.

They encounter evil creatures (metal monsters and poisonous butterflies for example) and fight them using the wisdom from Ruwach and their armor. When characters step into the world of Ahoratos, they put on armor which has some magical abilities as well as protects them from enemies. Fans of Jaimie Engle’s Clifton Chase and the Arrow of Light will probably enjoy this series. The Prince Warriors will probably appeal most to younger middle grade readers who enjoy doorway to fantasy type books. That said, I liked the setup for future novels and the way that even though an adult becomes involved, the kids have to solve their own problems through the course of the story. The last part of this three-part book felt more like the beginning of a new quest rather than a conclusion to the story as a whole. The plot pacing was a little strange for me. Brianna was my favorite, and her relationship with Levi might have been one of my favorite parts of the story.

I also thought it worked well to have a cast of four central characters on the quest. I liked the imaginative way the author used elements of the story to talk about spiritual warfare. Written by New York Times Best-Selling author Priscilla Shirer, The Prince Warriors series was created for middle-grade readers and will include the fiction trilogy as well as Unseen: The 365 Prince Warriors Devotional and the Unseen app. There they meet their guide, Ruwach, who offers wisdom and direction as the kids’ initial adventure begins-an adventure filled with armor and danger and a very real enemy.
