Reckless is a fantasy story that follows Jacob Reckless and a small band of others, as he fights to save his brother from an evil fairy curse. It is set mainly in the Mirrorworld, a world reached through a mystical mirror through which people travel from our world.
In addition there is also a lesser back story surrounding the disappearance of Jacob Reckless's father, presumably into the Mirrorworld.
For some reason this book mainly struck me as a watered down version of "The NeverEnding Story" but without so much colour and not as gripping. Certain parts didn't seem to entirely gel together for me. It was also a little slow to get going at first.
All the same it wasn't a totally bad read and I can see how there will be a series created. I think this is one that will appeal more to the younger audience who enjoy fantasy adventure stories.
