    A bit forced and awkward. Coincidences and forced, unnatural, stereotypes of characterization makes emphasizing with anyone difficult.

    A positively charming book. The characters are likable and animated. It is aimed at younger audiences, so don't expect too much subtlety, but there's a hint to be seen there. Worth the buy and would recommend to others.

    A positively charming book. The characters are likable and animated. It is aimed at younger audiences, so I forgive some bluntness, but there is a hint of subtle symbolism to be found lurking in the corners. Quite enjoyable and worth the buy, would recommend to others.

    I don't like writing negative reviews, but here we go. The spelling is problematic and persistent. More than enough to be a constant jarring from the flow. It looks like a spellchecker was used, but no one else read the book before publishing. There are a lot of similar words in the wrong place. Despite the story being told in the third person, there seems to be a lot of thoughts being given to the watcher(that's you) instead of being shown through the story. The antagonists, described as being awful and war like, are constantly put down casually during the action. Show, don't tell. It can be harder, but it provides a better story, especially when writing in the third person(is the story being told to me by a very biased person perhaps?) The characters felt a little stiff and awkward, and I found out more about their fertility than I ever wanted to know. Most of the protagonists seem to fall under the 'mindless hero' role, doing what must be done, because it must be done, and for little other motivation. Despite the harsh words, I do encourage the author to continue and refine their technique.

    A perfectly charming story. It takes all the fantasy hero tropes and stomps all over them with a lovingly mocking fashion. You're in for a laugh.
