The Light of Chorad
Joan Dolamore
Some lights are given. Others are kept.
The Light of Chorad
When the Light of Chorad, the source of the warriors’ power is stolen, Quan, age twelve, is chosen for a journey that could decide the fate of his people. He’s curious. Brave. Unprepared in all the ways that matter.
Traveling with him is Dalmeh, a 14-year-old warrior civilian: she is highly trained, fiercely loyal, and sworn to protect her own. And then there’s BakBak, a lavender-furred creature called a Mootz with bright yellow eyes, a red nose, and long upright ears. They think he’s only an animal. They are wrong.
Across hostile territory ruled by a ruthless queen who has imprisoned her own brother, the trio must evade elite warriors, trust unexpected allies, and face dangers that test more than skill they test judgment. With help from a mysterious shapeshifter and the imprisoned king himself, Quan must reclaim the Light before war becomes inevitable.

Brooke Fowler
Quan isn’t a perfect hero, which makes him feel real. I liked watching him make mistakes, learn, and grow along the way. Dalmeh’s protective nature and BakBak’s quirks add depth and humor. The enemy lands feel dangerous but believable. Every encounter moves the story forward in exciting ways. I finished the book smiling and inspired.

I couldn’t put this down once Quan set off on his journey. The dangers in enemy territory feel real, and every challenge shapes him in a believable way. Dalmeh and BakBak add heart and humor to the story. The tension builds naturally without ever feeling forced. By the end, I was cheering for them the whole way.
TJ Brown
I picked this up expecting a simple fantasy adventure and ended up with something much more thoughtful. Joan Dolamore does a wonderful job showing Quan’s growth without rushing it. The journey feels dangerous, but also purposeful, like every challenge is shaping him. I especially liked how the quest itself is revealed to be a test. It made the ending feel earned rather than flashy.
