3 Stars!
For those of us always wanting more time to get things done, an extra day sounds like the ideal situation. For Jax Aubrey, it comes upon him in a terrifying manner. Jax has had it rough for a while; his parents are dead and he's stuck living with a guardian who can barely take care of himself, let alone Jax. When Jax wakes up one day, all of a sudden, everyone, that's EVERYONE, is gone. Thinking he's been thrust into an apocalypse, Jax proceeds to scour for supplies to survive. Little does he know that he's been exposed to an alternate timeline, one filled with magic and a legacy that will affect his every move.
The Eighth Day is a fun romp that ties in survival, magic, heraldry, kings, and family loyalty into one neat package. While not particularly insightful, it's fast-paced plot will keep you involved in the storyline. I like the uncertainty that Jax brings to the story. He knows what's right and what's wrong, but it can be difficult to apply these morals under these new time constraints.
Enjoy!
