Courtesy of Teens Read Too
NOMAN is the finale to THE NOBLE WARRIORS trilogy. I would not suggest reading this book before you read the previous two.

The novel brings a beautiful end to the story of Seeker, Jango, and Morning Star. The stories are very character-driven, and to fully grasp the depth and spirituality of the characters it is important to understand their past. The author writes the book by taking the reader into the actions of the main characters by alternating chapters. At times this did make it difficult to follow the story line, because there was a lack of consistency and flow throughout the story.

This book is thought-provoking and contains symbolism and moral messages that can be directly associated with religion and spirituality.

During NOMAN, the young people in the book are sent on their own individual quests to decide who they want to be and what is important to them in their lives. Even as Seeker faces the completion of his quest to kill the last of the Old Ones, he finds someone who is preaching joy and love - and he is forced to face the reality of his past decisions.

Although it would be nice to see them use their powers all together, I liked the individual aspect of the teens learning to deal with life problems on their own.

Amazing
I thought the book was fascinating, it realy made me think about what really is real. The way the story was written made you feel like you were there the description made it seem so real. It explores deep religeous and psychological concepts. The book describes stories about different people and then they all mingle together in the end. The book is based on the concepts of magic, destiny and Gods. The main story is Seeker is sent to destroy these people. However, the book is for teenagers and there is quite a lot of imagination involved. Some children may not like it, as they may not be able to understand it properly. Ther book does need a good strong imagination but can be very enjoyable and is an extremely good book and story! :)

A too-little-known and stunning masterpiece trilogy
Our family is always reading together *quality* fantasy literature.

To us the most under-praised and under-publicized fantasy trilogy of all is "The Noble Warriors," in three volumes-- Seeker: Book One of the Noble Warriors, Jango: Book Two of the Noble Warriors, and Noman: Book Three of the Noble Warriors.

It's about two teen boys (Seeker and Wildman) and one teen girl, (Morning Star), and it soars, with evocativeness and compassion and even tenderness, into their fantasy and magical civilization's politics, hypocrisy, authoritarianism, homeless underclass, gangs, wars, and above all these sensitive teen's heroism and their spirituality -- their engagement with each other, fraudulent cults, barbarous religion (including human sacrifice), peaceful (and magical) monasticism, and their true spiritual seeking.

It touches seamlessly and coherently on so many deftly interwoven themes. It is absolutely action-packed entertaining, audaciously intelligent, adventurous, deeply reflective, much too-little known, and a simply stunning achievement.
