"Plot-driven, fast paced, exciting, and sometimes terrifying, The Savage Fortress is the ideal next step for readers who loved Rick Riordan's books about the Olympian heroes and Anthony Horowitz's "Gatekeepers" series...Make time for this novel, because it is very hard to put down." -- School Library Journal, starred review "A knock-down, drag-out adventure... A rousing and breathtaking climax supports the tied-up threads of the ending. Nonstop action and likable teen characters will attract fans of fantasy quests such as the Percy Jackson books and the saga of Nicholas Flamel." -- Kirkus Reviews "A classic hero's quest, this action-packed story has its protagonist making the transformation from portly, brainy everyday kid to courageous, physically strong warrior with relative ease.... The incorporation of the Ramayana legend serves as a basic introduction to Indian deities; fans of Riordan's Kane Chronicles, Indiana Jones, and the like will appreciate this non-Western take on fantasy adventure." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
