Read this book.
If you can afford to, buy it. If you can’t, root through every library in your state until you can get your hands on a copy.
Seriously, folks. If the sequels hold up, this series is like Harry Potter meets The Chronicles of Narnia. Or even just The Chronicles of Narnia set in 16th-century England. I dunno, it’s just good.
You can read all sorts of reviews, so I won’t repeat their efforts. The best I can do (without ruining the best parts) is to highly recommend it!

Yeah I’ve read all three of the books and they kick butt, but I have one question how long has Catherine Warvold been in the prison? They found her in book II but they never said how long she was in there. E-mail me @ danny-sullivan@sbcglobal.net if you have any idea
