Review: I highly enjoyed this book. It is a fantastic read for fantasy lovers. I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars. This book has a bit of everything. It is suitable for teenagers 15 and up. There are many sad parts, as well as, touching heart griping moments. I see this book as ageless and classic as, The chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, and The Hobbit. You can purchase it at the link below, but don't forget about the audio version, which is very enjoyable to listen to.
