yapha 's review for:

The Emerald Atlas by John Stephens
5.0

I've read so much mediocre fantasy lately, that I put this one off to the end of the summer. I thought it was going to be the same old thing -- orphans, with a horrible life, mistreated, having to fight off evil. And boy am I kicking myself over that! I loved it! There were so many great touches and details, so many seeds planted in the beginning that were important later on, it was fabulous! I am so happy that there will be two more in the series. These are characters that I want to keep in my life!
