I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is a very simple but thoroughly sensational read. This is a very short book, I also feel the characters were very well introduced and thoroughly enjoyed their personalities as they were well described. I would recommend this book to almost all readers especially fantasy lovers!
A solid review with all of the components - characters, plot outline, book cover and recommendation.
