An enthralling read from start to finish. The writing style varies from simple prose to quite complex descriptions but Haggard balances it very well, fitting a well paced and thrilling adventure story in the midst of it. Ayesha's monologues were some of my favourite moments from the book and wisdom exudes from the writing every other page. Can't wait to read the sequel.
