I think this book is really good and I really enjoyed reading it. My favourite character was Gwerran because I loved how she lived under ground in the caves. I would recommend it to 8 and over.

A very good book: intriguing and quite imaginary, but the only problem is the ending could have been a better ending because it doesn't give the book excitement near the end of this book. Nevertheless, this book is very good!

I like this book so much because the girl in this is so mysterious and the boy is pretty naive. It is an epic book recommended for 10 and over
