Phew!

I've always been a big fan of Emily Rodda, but the Shadowlands series and the Dragon's Nest book actually made me doubt if I should read on. Those are good books actually, but they came in the wrong time. After the twists and excitement in Return to Del, they seemed a bit dull. But after reading this, the thought came completely off my mind! It was a good book, and there are clever disguises to some of the parts like the name "Bede", the "Keep out" on the butterfies and Bede trying to tell them he is Kirsten's prisoner. I highly recommend EVERYONE to read this excellent, fantastic book.

Exciting second adventure in the Dragons of Deltora series.

Lief, Jasmine, and Barda have destroyed the first of the Four Sisters, the Sister of the East, at Dragon's Nest, but their perilous journey continues. Three of the Sisters still remain, and they must next find and destroy the Sister of the North. Their dangerous journey takes them north toward the border with the Shadowlands, as they search for the Dragon of the Emerald to help them in their quest. Their destination is Shadowgate, where the Sister of the North lies hidden. The Shadow Lord knows of their mission and is determined to stop them. The three companions must fight off many dangers, both known and unknown, if they are to succeed. This book was the second exciting adventure in the third Deltora series, Dragons of Deltora. Readers who enjoyed all the previous Deltora books are sure to want to read this one as well, and I highly recommend it.
