Ratings and reviews

Very compelling plot line that keeps you on the edge of your seat. A real page turner. I could hardly put the book down. Read the book every day before bed and each day I could hardly wait to begin where I left of the previous day. I've finished this book a few times now and it is just as great as it was the first time I read it. Great read and not too difficult. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good sci-fi/fantasy story!

I am only about half way through, would be done by now if i hadn't have left it in my music class. Anyway, based on what I have read so far this book is AMAZING!!!!! I recommended it to anyone who likes supernatural things!!!

More than the magical aspect, I adore this book! I love the magic, the characters (even Arthur). I love how I can easily imagine each concept that is presented in each scene no matter how abnormal it is.
