This was an amazing fantasy novel. Mr. Yelle has created a world that I suspect we can return to again and again for new adventures. His characters are young and have the whole world in front of them. While young, they are maturing rapidly and I find them compelling. I stayed up until 2AM to finish; I was unable to put it down. The reader is quickly and immediately plunged into the action. The story moves swiftly. I just can't say enough good things about it. I'll be first in line to buy the next book because Mr. Yelle left us with a cliffhanger!! I feel as giddy about this book as I did with the first Ranger Apprentice book I picked up.

Please support this incredible author and the wonderful world of Ter Chadain! Buy this book. You'll love it and be clamoring for more.
