It was always at sundown they were seen. In that twilight hour, when the walls between the worlds grew thin, strange things might slip through the cracks. Sometimes then, so the stories went, enchanted islands would appear in the empty ocean to the west of Wildsea.
When Utterly Dark was a baby, she was washed up on the shores of the Autumn Isles and taken in by the Watcher of Wildsea. But everything changes when her guardian suddenly drowns. Now who will keep the Watch, and make sure Wildsea stays safe from the strange forces teeming in the deep ocean around them?
A magical new story from the bestselling and prize-winning author of Mortal Engines.

This is definitely one of my favourite books because it's really interesting and detailed i really look forward to seeing the next book. My favourite part of the book is when Aish tried to escape the forest but instead became the Leader of the wolves.

This book is really good because it has magic in it but it's so well described that it seems real. My favourite characters are Utterly because she is funny and seems like a real child and Aish the troll. My favourite parts are when Utterly goes to visit Aish. I'd reccomend this book to readers about 10-12 years old.

A very good book that has some very sad and touching parts, but also has very happy and scary parts! I love the sea just as much as Utterly, and love to explore the beach! With many plot twists, this story is very exciting!

This is a clearly fictional book as all of us know that this generation does not consist of troops or giants my favourite character is utterly as she had shown such bravery and courage in the hardest of times it was not based on facts it was more based on her thought and opinions but what interests me the most in the book was the way the paragraphs where written with clear explanation this would not be my most favourite book but I would recommend it to anyone who lover thriller and tension books.

I liked the person Utterly the best because she is an adventurous and kind person. This book is fictional. If you like a bit of fun but a little bit scary this is a book for you. I rated it a four because I don't like scary books.
