Explanation Supposing Books Slumbering (The Starlight Chronicles #1)

A narcissistic teenager who doesn't believe in destiny. 
A city under supernatural attack. 
An adventure that unfortunately changes everything. 

Sixteen-year-old Hamilton Dinger leads a charmed life. He's got the grades for the top of the class, the abilities of a star athlete and Tetris player, and the charisma to get away with anything. Everything seems to be going along perfectly, including his plans to ask out Gwen Kessler, as he enters into tenth grade at Apollo Central High School.

Everything, that is, until a meteor crashes into the city, releasing the Seven Deadly Sinisters and their leader, Orpheus, from their celestial prison, and awakening Hamilton's longtime dormant supernatural abilities. Suddenly Hamilton finds himself reluctantly allied with his self-declared mentor, Elysian, a changeling dragon, and Starry Knight, a beautiful but dangerous warrior, as they seek to protect the souls of Apollo City from the Sinisters and their evil intentions.

Can Hamilton give up his self-proclaimed entitlement to happiness in order to follow the call of a duty he doesn't want? More importantly, will he willingly sacrifice all he has to find out the truth?

FROM THE BOOK: 

At the time, I didn't really believe that anything outside my control would change my life. Or at least, not in a significant, substantial way. My life was all about myself, and I figured I had complete control over that. Anything that happened outside of my control was more or less because I let it happen, and didn't feel like stopping it.

It's funny how one disaster of epic proportion can really make you change your mind.

FROM THE AUTHOR: 

Welcome to the epic world of The Starlight Chronicles, a young adult fantasy series about a team of fallen Stars with supernatural powers. Follow them through this alternatively snarky and sweet series as they become their city's resident superheroes, with all the fun and frustration of dragons and swords and homework! Look for Book 2, Calling, as the battle between good and evil continues on!

Perfect for young teenagers or disaffected college students, or adults who enjoy some wry humor with their reading!

Criticize Containing Books Slumbering (The Starlight Chronicles #1)

Great read for a first in a series. I couldn't put it down and then had to order the whole series.

A Great (Christ Honoring) Gift for any Avid YA Reader!When I first saw Slumbering on Amazon, I fell in love with the cover. Instantly I knew I needed it on my shelf. In fact, reading the description was just my GIBC (greedy inner book collector) humoring protocol before snatching a copy.That being said, I did not fall in love with the prologue as quickly as I did the cover. I was confused about what was going on and found the experience slightly jarring. If this happens to you, you must continue

This book has been in my TBR pile for months and finally had the chance to read it...didn't like Hamilton at all for the first few chapters, he is so egotistical it's comical. However, he kept implying how his life changes and I wanted to know more. I even admire how much he likes this one girl enough to save her life twice, as selfish as he is, I was surprised he did that much.Then the meteorite hits and everything changes. Hamilton starts having weird dreams that are very realistic, he starts

This is a Y/A superhero fantasy that has a lot of anime influence making it a lot of fun.

Ever get tired of those typical fantasy stories? You know, normal, but different, plain, but pretty, awkward, but attractive teenaged female heroines whose lives are overturned when the most popular guy in school falls for them? Yeah, well, I'm tired of those kind of stories too. Which is why I picked up this one.You know the superpopular, egotistical, self-centered jerks who overpopulate fantasy nowadays? Hamilton Dinger is one. And you know what? That is actually viewed as problematic.I've

Slumbering (The Starlight Chronicles #1) by C.S. Johnson and narrated by Nicholas Santasier is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary. This book is a preteen/teen book and is quite funny in many ways. The main guy of the story, Hamilton, is so incredibly self centered, narrow-minded, obnoxious, entitled (he thinks), and so much better than anyone else that he is so unlikable. The way the author makes him react to situations is so brilliant, I would have never thought of it! It

The Starlight Chronicles is the story of Hamilton Dinger aka Hammy or Dinger. High School sophomore, foot ball player, and as you may have already guessed typical high school boy until the night of the football party when an event of epic proportions will cause Dinger to be chosen as a hero. A calling he is not sure he wants to have or can handle. Dinger gradually realizes that he must step up and accept his fate so that he can help others and once he does he is helped by a dragon named Elysian
