[Of previous books in the Quartet:] 'I rated this book 5/5 because the story is so brilliant you simply have to read it. I would strongly advise this book so just buy it and read it!!!!!!!! (Jenii, age 10 )
This book is the most excellent book I have ever read. (Amazon review )
If you are looking for a book for a child of junior age or above (or their Mum or Dad!) who enjoys fantasy fiction, then this would definitely be a great choice. (Amazon review )
This has all the ingredients of a must-read series (Publishing News )
I really like it - it reminded me of Susan Cooper's ver Sea Under Stone (Amanda Craig )
Crackles with tension (TES )

At the end of July the world went doolally when the final Harry Potter book came out. A month later, The Chimera's Curse was published to no fanfare at all. But I'm sure I'm not alone in having enjoyed this fantasy adventure series about magical powers just as much as the one about the boy wizard. This series is always going to compared with HP - the similarities are many but to me, the idea of a Society for the Protection of Mythical Creatures is more exciting than a school for wizards.
The plot is much tighter and the conclusion far more satisfying than that of HPATDH. Kullervo is more of a real threat than Voldemort ever is. Even the jacket illustration is infinitely better.

Julia Golding is a marvelous author and has written lots of brilliant books, but this one is my fovourites. it is the end of a series called "Companions Quartret". All of her books are the best i've read in ages. this ones my favourite because all the things i wanted to happen happened, but i can't say what these things are because without ruining the book but i'll say this much, id give it 9,000,000,000,000,001 stars out of 5!!!!!!!!

The Companion Series has told the reader all about the events of Connie's life, this one being no different. As the series finale, it helps that this is the best book yet out of the four. Readers of the series will find that the ending isn't as obvious as the last three. Julia Golding has managed to finish off the Series with a book that holds you from start to finish, with no negitivities as far as i can see. I would, however, advise that people who haven't read the series might wish to do just that, it helps if you undertand the characters better.

The Companions Quartet is aimed at younger readers, but I am an older teenager and enjoyed this series much more than other teenage books, such as Harry Potter and Twilight. Read more

A good, solid read
It is a shame that this series has never received the attention from the literary world that it deserves. Very few people seem to know of it. Read more
