I read this when I was in the target age group and it was a seriously perfect coming of age story, plus a little sexual awakening as well. An excellent read for Fantasy lovers with a decent hit of romance too.

This was such a great book! The story was very creative and I didn't want to put the book down once I started reading.

[Danielle · Rating 3 out of 5]

When I was young and had just discovered fantasy, I used to read and reread this one. Still pretty good, but so short! Books have definitely gotten longer since then.

Alright fantasy story but sometimes it would get annoying from them constantly saying "och!" or "no oh no!"
