Customer Reviews

Really is a great book!!!

This book is billed to be the next "Harry Potter" series. (A lot to live up to) - But it may actually be!!! The story is just great, with lovable characters set in brilliant locations. It is quite slow at the beggining - BUT persevere because it just gets brilliant mid way through. It's an action adventure magic story and anyone that like this genre should read it.

Destined to be big

I bought the book on a strong recomendation from a fanzine site. They were claiming it to be the next big fantasy series.Hype is cheap!However, I was took a chance and was soon engrossed in a great tale of magic and mystery.The story is set in beautiful ancient locations and the descritions of the magic islands are spectacular. My favorite was Filicudi and the giant forests.The book was packed with great characters of good and evil and a selection of great monsters.Each chapter adds the the mystery of the book until part two when the action explodes and the full secret is revealed. Then it's a great thrill packed ride to finish 'The quest.'This is book is sure to please and I'm sure the series will become an adventure classic!

Great adventure book

This book captures everything a fantasy come adventure book should. It has mystery, magic, adventure and well written, memorable characters that take you along on this journey.The books is simple to follow and uses simple enough language for all teenagers but has a complex enough under plot to engage adults. It feels somewhere between Harry Potter and Tolkien in that it is simple but not childish.It also has a real flavor of Treasure Island about it with lots of swashbuckling action. It is the first of a promised series and I'll be certainly booking my copies of the follow up books.
