Great, character driven story of individual adventurers coming together as a team to face challenges. Exploring personalities, family ties and backgrounds of each person, as well as learning about the larger world in general, are all part of the enjoyable read. Players of RPGs will be particularly interested in the tale.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐K.T. Pike’s “Catching Qat” is an incredible debut that grabbed me from the first page. This is Book 1 of The Drakkaen Nakkla series and I’m already hooked for the entire journey.
Twenty years ago, twins Qat and Qrodin were ripped apart when their mother was murdered and Qat was kidnapped. Qrodin never stopped searching while building his empire, and Qat woke up on a pirate ship at eleven with zero memories and eventually became a skilled assassin. When they finally reunite in a Riversmeet tavern (Qrodin catches Qat’s reflection in a mirror), it’s this explosive moment. Qat has no memory of any of it, and worse, ae just completed a hit so the city guards are hunting aer. Perfect timing for a reunion, right? 🏹
What really got me was how the found family comes together. After the job, Qat runs into Llani, this mysterious elf wearing a necklace with a gem the size of a chicken egg. When Bell (this tiny but fierce archer) throws a rock at Qat’s head to protect Llani, something shifts. Qat feels drawn to these people in a way ae hasn’t felt in years. They end up joining Qrodin’s group heading to Craguesport, along with Akin (a monk who communicates through sign language and has incredible martial arts skills) and a dwarf bladesmith with a battleaxe and serious attitude. They become the Solitary Comrades, and watching them go from strangers to family was everything. 🗡️

5.0 out of 5 stars Action, adventure, character development!
Format: Paperback
This book is whimsical. The world comes to life through the characters. There is adventure, friendship, mistrust, and relatable dialogue. It’s like if LOTR was sassy instead of serious. Read it. You’ll know what I mean. For the first book in the series, you really get a grasp of who the characters are and who they could be. Can’t wait for the next one.

K.T. Pike’s CATCHING QAT creates an exhilarating world of fantasy, adventure, and magic that’s enriched with a wild cast of diverse characters and creatures.
Two siblings cruelly torn apart are brought together by fate as they discover their shared legacy in this adventure saga.
K.T. Pike’s CATCHING QAT is a fascinating adventure about identity, destiny, and the unbreakable bonds of family. It delivers a mixture of diverse creatures (including pirates, witches, and dwarves) in a deeply layered world of magic and mist. The story opens with Qat, a sharp-witted assassin and thief, whose latest job goes awry when the city suddenly goes into lockdown. With the city guards on their tail, Qat is forced to find another way out or risk getting captured. But distraction—and perhaps destiny—strikes when Qat crosses paths with a unique elf wearing a necklace that’s too tempting to ignore. This reckless detour leads to a fateful encounter in a crowded tavern as Qat comes face-to-face with ae’s supposed twin.

I really enjoyed this as a opening chapter in the Drakkaen Nakkla series, it does an amazing job in keeping the reader invested and caring about the characters. I enjoyed going on this journey and thought it uses the fantasy adventure element that I was expecting from this type of book. The characters were so well done and can’t wait for more from them.
