Reviews

This is the second book in the series, I have read book 1 and really liked it so was eager to start this one.

I liked Rye, she reminds me a lot of me when I was a child, quite a rebel. The Luck Uglies although being outlaws I did like them, they were only sticking up for themselves and their people really. This book was just as exciting as the first with lots of action and adventure, not so much magical things going on but all the same it was a great read.

The characters were developed more in this book so we got to know more about them and Rye is a strong and loveable heroine.

This children’s fantasy has been written very well and I am sure children that read it will love it.

I have enjoyed this series.
