Description
There are three types of people in the world. Those with white wings. Those with black wings. And those with none. Every 350 years a 4th is born called the Lumen Caligo. One side of his wings there is white. On the other side, there is black. Throughout time, the Lumen Caligo acted as a peacekeeper for all the nations, leading them to times of peace, prosperity, and power… Then, the Lumen Caligo of the 1600s mysteriously vanished at the brink of war between the nations. His last letter was something called “The Isolation Order". It requested that the nations return to their lands of origin. Fearing the destruction that could unfold and respecting the title of The Lumen Caligo, the nations returned to their lands and vowed to remain isolated from the rest of the world until the Lumen Caligo returned... On a sunset beach in California, a man sits in solitude... Not knowing the role he will play for the changing and shaping of the world…This is where our story begins. The Lumen Caligo – Book 1 – Fallen

I really enjoyed this audiobook. I have never heard of this author, and I was not disappointed that I received this book. I loved every minute of it. The characters were so well thought out, and the plot was executed to flow well. I was hooked from the beginning, and I couldn't stop listening. I admit that now I can't wait for the next one to come out. I loved it so much. I highly recommend this book to others.
Thank you Net Galley ARC and Colibri PVP
From the very first page, I was utterly captivated by this book! The narrator can pull you into the story, keeping you engaged and invested until the very last line. The Lumen Caligo is one of the most unique novels I have ever read. It centers around a young boy named Sirus, who is an ordinary child and an angel concealed from the world.
Challenges have marked Sirus’s life; he has been paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair for much of his adolescence. This limitation has shaped his experiences and perspective. However, everything changes dramatically when he unexpectedly discovers that he possesses wings and can walk. This newfound ability opens the door to a new realm of possibilities and adventures for Sirus.
As he embarks on this transformative journey, he is not alone. His friends play a crucial role in guiding him through the maze of self-discovery. Together, they set out to help him uncover his true identity, locate his long-lost mother, and ultimately embrace his destiny as the Lumen Caligo. This title suggests he is destined for greatness beyond what he ever imagined.
Lawrence C. Cobb has crafted a beautifully written and profoundly touching novel that explores the powers of angels and their influence on our lives. The themes of resilience, friendship, and self-discovery are woven throughout the story, enriching the reader's experience. I hope this book marks the beginning of a series, as I am eager to delve deeper into Sirus's world and witness his continued growth. I can hardly wait for the next installment to be released!
I am genuinely thankful to NetGalley for allowing me the opportunity to read this advance copy (ARC).
I don’t normally do this, but I’m going to stick my neck out and predict that this middle-grade fantasy is going to be the next big thing in children’s books. As a teacher of English, I’d love to read this with Year 7 or 8! It’s an absolute must for fans of Percy Jackson and Skellig.
The characterisation in this novel is very strong, with plenty of appealing characters and positive role-models in the forms of Cyrus, Martin and a host of others whose names I have no idea how to spell (the curse of listening to this as an audiobook, I’m afraid!). It’s also got a really strong sense of plot and setting, and some relatable (and not so relate-able!) situations.
I eagerly anticipate the release of the second book in this series, and very much hope that the film rights are snapped up soon. Kids are going to love this!
