Well where do I start, this is a YA novel in its own league. I don’t think I have read anything like this. The use of the Athame, the whipsword,the dreads, disruptors and Traveler? All I can say is wow! I was on a rollercoaster from the start to finish. The fight scenes were so descriptive that I could almost visualize it all when it was happening. I enjoyed reading the book from the different characters points of view. This allows you to have rounded view of the characters and the story. My favorite character was Shinobu, I thought Quin was a bit whiney, although others might argue that she has the makings of a ture Heroine. I liked Maud more, her wisdom provided the right balance for the story. I wanted to beat up Briac, that man is evil! But that’s enough from me, no spoilers…..

What didn’t I like? I felt like the story dragged on quite a bit especially with the flashbacks. I wish there were date stamps so I could have known we were flashing back. I was really hoping that this would be a one off book but my joy was short lived when it ended in a bit of a to be continued kind of way.

Although I was happy with most of the events that took place toward the end, and if I don’t read book 2 I wont really be fussed.

Truly a YA novel in its own league, its one of those that will linger with you for a little while.
