A review by razishiri
The Dark Hills Divide by Patrick Carman

4.0

It started slowly, but when I reached the scene with Alexa and Pervis's chess game in the prison, I realized how much thought the author had put into the story. It's also very well written; the vaguely formal writing style sets a nice tone and there are some very enjoyable descriptive passages. I didn't realize how much I've been craving good, solid mystery fantasy until I picked this up! Talking animals, secret messages in books, traitors and spies... I'm definantly at home ;)

I now have complete faith in the reccomendations of my friend's little sister! I just hope the rest of this series is of the same quality.
