Filled with exciting adventures and a plucky pair of young people who have no hesitation about throwing themselves into danger to protect their friends, this engaging fantasy is a sprightly written and exciting adventure. It offers both fantasy and suspenseful action in a well-paced plot and with engaging characters. The story is rich and interesting, the locations are beautifully rendered, and the characters are very three-dimensional. The author mixes humor, adventure, political intrigues, magic, and romance into this very well done book. An introduction to the characters and previous plots would have helped new readers adjust but they are sure to go back and read the earlier volumes. SO
