Speaking of characters, have I mentioned how much I love Bane? No? Well, he is AMAZING! So stong and sweet! You’ll see what I mean when you read it for yourself! 😉Īlso, I love the storyline and the way that it flowed very smoothly. They have slight issues and flaws, but they are so lovable and empathetic that you find yourself rooting for them the whole way through. First of all, the characters are three dimensional and very well fleshed out. There were honestly so many things I enjoyed about this book that I hardly know where to begin. It takes two genres that I love (fantasy and young adult) and melds them together in a beautiful way that was not only thrilling to read but just plain downright fun! *sighs happily* What can I say about this book? Well, basically, it was simply incredible. Although all these facts are unknown to her before this night, she will need to come to grips with this newfound knowledge and find the strength that lies in the heart of herself, if she wants to survive. (3) She has a grand and amazing destiny awaiting her, if she has the courage to believe in herself and those she loves. (2) The amulet that her ‘parents’ have given her opens up the secret and mystical labyrinth in their cellar, which she and her best friend Nat waste no time venturing into. (1) The people she has lived with all these years are not actually her parents, they found her in the cellar of their cottage, her only possession a rag doll. On the night of Alloria’s tenth birthday she discovers that there are many things she had not known, about herself and the world around her. “While ever there’s a glimmer of hope, you should never give up.”

“Anything worth having takes time and effort.”
