A funny, action-filled adventure for fantasy fans. The text could use a good edit. There’s a lot of typos and grammar errors that detract from the novel. The story is a little confusing in parts and could use some more chapter breaks, but is entertaining and is fairly well-written. The characters are likable and enjoyable to follow in their adventures. Readers who like magic, witches, flying creatures, and a whole new world to imagine will enjoy reading this book.
