I enjoyed the start of the book, but once the author started going back in time, all of the story’s questions were answered and I felt it really started to drag.

Prince and Princess's, magic, Fairyland and historical-fantasy brings you this very delightful read for the young.

The Royal Sorcerer captures Tempest and a boy like her, Thomas. They are both magicborn and have magical amulets but there is a deadly curse on them.

A delightful and magical read, full of that wonderful fantasy we all desire. The characters were superb and I think little Coriel really added value to portrait this wonderful story. I love how Peter captured that magical feel and you could picture it in your minds eye.

Very well portrayed and will certainly hold any young mind to the end!

Thank you Netgalley and Usborne Publishing for this ARC.

Bit too young for me and our 12 year old. A few plot holes. Not super elegant writing. Nothing new.
