Burdened by the memories of her failures and hurt by her friends’ distrust Sapphire isn’t sure how she can make it another day.

I read all the books and when I realised I was on the last book I nearly had a break down. What book was better than these? I liked this book especially because I was so hooked I shared my emotion with Sapphire and been dreamed about the book! As Sapphire, I fell in love with the unicorn (can’t spell his name) before she did. I also knew Ebony was doing something to Mui and the unicorn before she did. I felt like I was in the book!
I recommend this for fantasy lovers and people who want to live a different life for a while. I like to call these kind of books “comfort books” because I read them when I want a different life!
I love everything about these books, definitely my favourites, brilliant storyline, brilliant characters, brilliant balance of good versus evil, book 5 where are you?
I think this book is absolutely awesome and I would suggest it to anyone!! Their were some bad parts but all in all I think this is the best book I've ever read!!😀👍
As this series goes ahead it becomes even better. But there is a difference in this part of the series as Japan is not much friendly and has more notorious magical beings then the other countries. Full of mythology, dangers and magic this book proves to be one of the best in the series. Also a there is a bit of digression in the myths related to dragons and their part is so much fun 😋. Can't wait for the next book! Also finally Philip is here to break the ice making it a more relatable story. Other than fantasy, this series is philosophical too, teaching us, the teens (and adults too) about life in a fun way 😊.
Once I found the time to read (finally!), I was dying to read Alica's new book A Dragon's Clutch. Let me say that it does not disappoint! Every book in this series get better and better, and I could not put this book down! The scenery, the characters, the mythology, the story, the emotions, and everything in between are so well written and represented. I cannot wait for the next book to come out!
