*Review*
I absolutely loved this book. The story was gripping and pulled me in from the beginning. If you like epic fantasy stories then this book is not to be missed. The characters and story are well thought out. The story is fast paced, but not so fast paced that the world-building and character development isn’t on point. In fantasy characters can get annoying when the fantasy elements of the story get all the attention, this however isn’t the case in Keeper of the Jewel. The story is set in the Soul Forge universe, and is the first in a series. You don’t need to have read other books in the Soul Forge universe, to be able to read this book. The relationship and story development in the book are spot on and the story was gripping till the last page.
