Reviews
"The series as a whole is in good standing alongside Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy and C. S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia." - Booklist, starred review
"The term 'page-turner' is often used, but not always justified. It is deserved here, tenfold. I really, really couldn't put the book down." - School Librarian
"The most original new fiction of this kind ... thrilling and thoughtful." - The Times
"Spiced with likable characters and an intriguing new magical ability - eagerly awaiting volume two." -Kirkus
"This novel stands on its own and offers a satisfying conclusion even as it provides an intriguing setting and mythology for future adventures." - Publishers Weekly
"An absorbing and fast-paced fantasy/mystery bursting with action and intrigue. The only question is: when will the next one come out?" - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
