"Harry Potter was my fathers attempt to bump me off onto the teenage reading section (I don't get it either). A whole believable magical universe set right under our noses and a gripping read - a must!"
"I read this by chance in the library and was immediately taken in. An original take on magic and knights, it follows a believably human heroine on her quest for Knighthood. Funny and exciting."
"The 2nd quartet from Tamora Pierce in Tortall, this time following another heroine, called Daine, as she explores her own Wild Magic, which comes at a time of war with fantastical creatures. Read it!"
"A classic uphill struggle against prejudice for Kel, as she trains to be a knight. Interesting to watch how different Tortall is since Daine and Alanna arrived! A great read."
"Having only really read Star Wars books I found this a pleasant move from constant action to a look at the more everyday problems of a galactic community yet still has a gripping plot to keep interest"
"Acorna is quite headstrong as she strives to free children from slavery. First books are better than the last, but last are more interesting as we see Acorna mature, making many difficult choices."
