Synopsis:
Seth Bauman has
issues. His Mom split ten years ago, right after his birth, and guardian Uncle
Troy won't discuss the past. Seth's only friend is Mexican immigrant Elena,
whom he must walk home from school through Silverlake's gang-ravaged streets.
When Elena is abducted by local gang 'the Mayans,' Seth has no choice but to
follow the Boatman of the L.A. River into the sprawling network of sewers and
metro tunnels concealing Mayan headquarters. To Seth the great labyrinth
unfolds as a magical realm called 'the Interior,' whose residents immediately
deem him the 'Nameless Prince' of prophecy, sent to save them from peril.
To find Elena, Seth embarks on an odyssey of riddles and self-discovery. Only in 'Interia' is it safe to discover the truth about his past, and the forgiveness that will set him free. In rescuing Elena he rescues his own innocence. In fulfilling prophecy by learning his name, Seth discovers the greatness that lies within.

My thoughts:
I really enjoyed the writing style the author presented in this book. This story was not the normal type of story that I would pick up to read, but I have been trying to expand my reading repertoire, so jumped at the chance to review it. Now with that said, I absolutely loved this book! It was a little slow in the beginning, but I think that was due to the fact that it was a major change of pace for me. I loved how the author created the characters to be so relate-able that you were right there with them through thick and thin. The story line was so well written that your imagination was kicked into overdrive! I definitely had dreams about this book ;) If you like an action packed novel, this is the book for you :)
