 I really liked this story. It is a great young adult fantasy. The plot gripped me immediately and each page carried me on to the next effortlessly. Authors Garcia and Stohl built up an amazing story line, developed likeable, interesting characters and sprinkled in delicious details full of dark magic and mystery. It was a recipe for success. Each character on their own was fantastic, but when they came together I felt no chemistry and no emotional ties. This book needed some drama, but I enjoyed the adventure.
