A nice action packed super story with loads of cool characters. I am really looking forwards for the next 3 books.

This is an adventure book about a wizard and a warrior who are born enemies but make an unlikely friendship. Xar, the wizard, has made a life threatening mistake and together they go on an adventure to set it right. My favourite moment is when an unexpected thing is found out about Wish, the warrior. Nearly everything in this book is surprising and amazing. I really liked it.

I found this book really funny because it was fiction and told a true sounding story of 2 different tribes in a small war. I would recommend it to someone who likes magic and adventure.

My favourite character is Zar as he is a wizard and he is a bit silly. In my opinion anyone in ks2 would enjoy this book.
