Kade looks up at his executioner with no fear or hate, watching . . .waiting. At six months old, he could hardly do much more as his grandfather agonizes over the task of taking the life of his only grandson.
Born with the rare ability to control the Divine, Kade has the potential to become one of the most powerful Chosen to ever exist. Taken from his parents, at the age of ten, by his grandfather, a Master Chosen, Kade is taught to harness the power of the Divine for good. After a decade of training, Kade learns the harsh reality of the dangerous world he is about to be thrust into, as his Master is brutally murdered right before his eyes. Kade soon realizes he is next.
With the help of a dragon, a species thought to have been a myth, and a feisty Essence Guardian, Kade must discover who – or what – is trying to eradicate his kind, before the Chosen are brought to extinction.

I picked up this fantasy book to use as a light evening read and landed up enjoying it a lot more than I expected.Meet Kade-the young apprentice training to be one of the Chosen who are able to use the power of the divine to achieve feats of magic. Taken from his family at an early age, Kade has a soul destined for one of either extreme poles-become the greatest Chosen or be their ruin. When tragedy strikes the bond of master and apprentice, Kade must use what he has learnt to begin the vengeful journey he must take. An unexpected relationship is formed between him and a dragon, who is thought to be a creature of myth. Helped by an Essence Guardian, Kade's parents and a loyal little animal, Chance, Kade must stretch himself to learn and develop more of his talents to fight all manner of beasts and find the evil one who wants him destroyed.
The storyline itself is very interesting but the execution very stiff. Kade as a character is a little underwhelming, but his interactions with the other characters serve to flesh him out more solidly. I enjoyed the growing mind bond with Rayden the dragon, and as for Chance-I am interested to find out more about what he is and his full connection to the story. Our introduction to Darcienna, the Essence Guardian, is one of a feisty, good-hearted woman who will make a very suitable partner for Kade in both heart and adventure. Her son Marcole seemed a bit of a waste of space in the book. He had no dialogue and was just used as a "crying distraction" in dangerous scenes. Maybe all will be revealed in subsequent books. We only briefly meet Kade's parents but his mother's character is beautifully and gently written. I enjoyed meeting the monsters that Kade must battle and learning about the different types of callings.
The language to introduce us to all of this however, had me constantly grating my teeth. You could tell that the author was relatively new to this by the formality of the writing. As though one was back at school instead of just writing the way a character would speak and think in everyday life. I lost track of the amount of times that Kade "chastised himself"-lots more synonyms were needed throughout the book. I was hoping the start of the second book would show the author's relaxation in his writing style but was hit with: "Judeen complied immediately while maintaining an air of confidence". Far too polite. Much of the dialogue didn't seem real to me-inner or verbal. Kade was grievously injured a number of times, yet bounced back remarkably quickly-the timeline to the extent of the wounds was dodgy. And the emphasis on the amount of hours spent learning the nuances of the moves and words to the callings became annoying as they were repeated over and over. I also found that jumping back and forth between different character's points of view in consecutive sentences really made some parts confusing to read and cut into the flow of the book.
Apart from all that, a very entertaining read with a good idea and great promise.

The Divine Apprentice The Divine Series Book 1 eBook Allen J Johnston Amber Johnston Reviews
Enjoyed the book very much. Like this genre of writing and looking forward to reading book 2 in the series
This was a really cool read. I started out reading a sample and soon realized a sample wasn't enough, so I finally bought it. Kade was a super cool character and the way he got the dragon was artfully created and portrayed in a great manner. I love dragon books and this one was at the top of my list of dragon books I'd want to read over and over. And now I can since it's in my kindle. Great story!
I gave this book a five-star rating because this book did not interest me. I often go to books such as this to get away from reading romance books. Young adult books is not beyond me but I believe that this book was for a much much younger person than myself . I only completed reading 28% of this book before giving up. That is not to say that it is probably a perfect book for someone else.
I liked this book so much that I am already starting book 4, as gives me the opportunity to rate the first two. Allen Johnston has created a fantasy world that pulls you in and won't let go. I strongly recommend this series to anyone who liked the Lord of the Rings trilogy or the Dune series. Start your journey with the Divine Apprentice and you will be hooked too. There are already 5 books in the series to keep you going and book 6 is coming in October. Highly recommended!
The author did a splendid job of worldbuilding while telling the tale; the details flowed naturally. It is a pretty slow story that builds to action in the last 25% of the story. The beginning of the plot places various foreshadowing and explains the magic system. We have a young boy who is training in the forest with his mentor behind a magical barrier. So the danger is from the magic training rather than the environment. It isn't until frustration pushes the now teen boy out beyond the magical protection that the plot pushes us forward.
I appreciate the new magic system and grew to appreciate the apprentice but the slow build up puts me off from continuing the series.
I took a gamble, generally I don't read male author books (very stereotypical and judgemental of me I know) - well I found myself staying up late to finish the story and then I just had to purchase the remaining books in the series, they did not disappoint. I am hanging out for the release of book #6. This is a great series with a different take from the general sci fi/fantasy. Thank you Allen J Johnston
