kayak baca [b:The Fellowship of the Ring|34|The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings, #1)|J.R.R. Tolkien|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1156043001s/34.jpg|3204327] (LOTR) + [a:Rick Riordan|15872|Rick Riordan|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1204641046p2/15872.jpg]'s Percy Jackson Series , dengan background setting mirip [b:Tunnels|1175893|Tunnels (Tunnels, #1)|Roderick Gordon|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181652780s/1175893.jpg|1163669]. yah, walaupun buku ini keluar duluan daripada Tunnels Series.

LOTR, karena berangkat quest nya rame2, dari beberapa ras/bangsa.
Percy Jackson, karena ada prophecy yang meramalkan jalannya quest, dengan makna tersirat. (di percy jackson, di ramalin sama si Oracle)
Tunnels Series, karena setting di bawah tanah, yang ternyata ada beberapa ras yang hidup berkelompok, termasuk manusia.

Boots karakter yang paling menarik menurut gua, lucu dan lugu. sisanya biasa aja.
kalau buku fantasi pada umumnya pake naga sebagai hewan pasangannya, seperti: [b:How to Train Your Dragon|352262|How to Train Your Dragon (Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III)|Cressida Cowell|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174000950s/352262.jpg|1484561], [b:Eragon|113436|Eragon (Inheritance, #1)|Christopher Paolini|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255586310s/113436.jpg|3178011], di Underland Chronicles ini pake kelelawar.

Quest nya berlangsung singkat saja, bentaran udah kelar, mungkin karena ni buku lebih di tujuin untuk anak2, jadi ga di bikin terlalu panjang seperti LOTR.

Overall, it's entertaining.
