If you love stories with wizards, elves, dwarfs and magic this spell binding book will keep you engrossed from cover to cover. I highly recommend this book to fantasy lovers. M.L. Forman created a new land for this series, one where you won't stop rooting for the heroes or stop being amazed by the characters he's envisioned. Mark Forman takes us on another grand adventure where Alexander Taylor a young boy new to magic must use all his skills to save his friends and hopefully Nezza a land in the Known Lands. I love how imaginative the author is. For instance the geeb, a magic bird messenger, has a head that turns into a horn and honks to answer a question negatively and a head that shifts to a bell to ding yes for questions
. His descriptions are so thorough I can see the geeb in my mind. This particular story was a little more dark then his past books, but the main theme of hope keeps the story entertaining and uplifting.
