enchantingly clever, funny and exciting

the complete package for young readers and their parents alike

an astounding adventure

this is the stuff of legends

An eye-widening fantasy, a scorching thriller and a thought-provoking reflection on the human condition, this is a book that can be enjoyed at many levels.

Hartman’s prose is delicate, complex and gorgeous, and the world of these books is lushly articulated . . . [a] deeply wonderful, attention-deserving offering that should be picked up, and soon.

I definitely don't want to give anything away about the ending, but I have to give the authors credit for a really stunning climax which had me desperate to get my hands on the next in this 5-book series. I can't wait to find out where we go from here!
