This book was a dream to read. Fable was an admirable heroine, introspective, clever, and independent. Her resourcefulness and nerve latched me into turning pages faster than usual as the plot passed through an enrapturing adventure.

I loved this book, and I highly recommend anyone craving a good adventure fantasy book to read it.
