Representaion Toward Books The Warrior Heir (The Heir Chronicles #1)
An epic battle between good and evil...Before he knew about the Roses, 16-year-old Jack lived an unremarkable life in the small Ohio town of Trinity. Only the medicine he has to take daily and the thick scar above his heart set him apart from the other high schoolers. Then one day Jack skips his medicine. Suddenly, he is stronger, fiercer, and more confident than ever before. And it feels great - until he loses control of his own strength and nearly kills another player during soccer team tryouts.
Soon, Jack learns the startling truth about himself: he is Weirlind, part of an underground society of magical people who live among us. At their helm sits the feuding houses of the Red Rose and the White Rose, whose power is determined by playing The Game - a magical tournament in which each house sponsors a warrior to fight to the death. The winning house rules the Weir.
As if his bizarre heritage isn't enough, Jack finds out that he's not just another member of Weirlind - he's one of the last of the warriors - at a time when both houses are scouting for a player.

(3.5 bumped up to a 4, because goodreads is lame and won't give us half stars.)The Warrior Heir is a fantasy story which is set in the contemporary world. It is a heros journey tale full of adventure and mystery. Jack is sixteen and since he had heart surgery as a child, he has been dependent on medicine to keep him alive. Jack has never forgotten to take his medicine but on the day of the soccer team tryouts, he does just that and his ordinary small town life suddenly begins to change. Jack is one of the Weirlind. He was born a wizard but his wizards stone was missing
Though it felt young, more middle grade than young adult, Warrior Heir was a quick, enjoyable read. Unfortunately, the main characters fell flat, and the ending felt too easy. I still plan to read the sequel, since there's a new main character. The story was good, the premise, and the world building, but the main character needed a personality. A sense of humor would do wonders. All Jack does is react to things and dispite plenty of time spent establishing his every day life, we know nothing
4.5 stars
I got about half way through this, I just found the dialalogue really cringy and juvenile. This was a DNF and I'm unhauling it.
First of all, I can not believe that the same author who wrote the Seven Realms series wrote this. I love the Seven Realms series, I read it after I read the Warrior Heir, and the style is so different. I would never guess that they are written by the same person, the only reason I made the connection was because of the similar covers.I did not like this book. The main character to me felt dull and boring. I found him very cookie cutter, he didn't feel like a real person. There was nothing in
I liked this, but I was kind of disappointed it was an urban fantasy. I enjoy all kinds of fantasy but damn I'm just so in love with Chima's skill at world developing from Seven Realms that I was hoping for that here. And it was not that. I miss Seven Realms now, I need to re-read it. I enjoyed the characters, but they felt kind of flat to me. I also predicted most of the ending so if wasn't as fun for me. I'm still going to continue this series eventually because I like the magic system, but
