Verhalen van Deltora by Emily Rodda

5.0

This book has a special place in my heart. Why, you ask? Well, this specific book introduced me to the beautiful Fantasy-genre.

I wasn't a reader, and books didn't really interest me. Until I had to read a fantasy novel for school.
I couldn't find anything interesting in the library (which was like a labyrinth for me), so I went to the local book store. There, this book caught my eye with its magical cover.

I never heard or read anything of Deltora, but this book made me feel like I knew Deltora my whole life.
The first stories lead to a climatic battle in which you couldn't possibly tell how it would end.

Some people say the ending was very depressing compared to the rest of the story, and they're right. Unfortunately, it was realistic compared to how life goes on in real life.
Sometimes, the 'happily ever after'-ending isn't the end of the story yet.
