Customer Reviews

A great book!

The first time I read this book, I was in grade 7 or 8, and I loved it. I'm going to be graduating from High School this year, and I still love it. I must have read it about 30 times. In this sequel to Sandwriter, a young princess must travel to a strange land to learn the secrets of a mysterious old woman. The descriptions of the land provide ample subject matter with which you can imagine anything, and the characters are realistic and easy to identify with.

An astounding sequel

Who can complain about this book? I can't say anything about it, it's just too good. Only read it. If you're looking for a book, read it. But read Sandwriter first. It's better, but this is a super runner-up.
