This book had a different take on magic that was refreshing. When I first saw it was told from four young character’s perspectives, I was wondering if I’d get lost with who was telling the story. Turns out, each character had their own voice and thoughts, and it wasn’t an issue at all.
I did connect with one character quickly and easily, the girl who could be considered the “main” character, and I was always curious to see how she’d deal with their problem.

Ok , I totally enjoyed this book , to a point where I never wanted it to end or put it down in fact , the characters were so well thought out and the world and story line and was just full of excitement and it was very fast paced and interesting indeed .
The adventure they were on , and magic they could do , and the friends they found and helped all in one place , the tense and gripping creature that stole the magic from wielders that it had killed ,after entering our world , the characters I enjoyed and really felt connected to all of them on this journey , I loved the whole book , and would love if the author maybe could write another on more adventures with these characters and in this world or at the temple training somehow ., a great all round story thrilling and exciting . definitely would recommend this to anyone , that love a good adventure with magic and trouble and characters really connecting with each other through good and bad times ..
The weilders all coming together to help when needed , made me feel excited and happy . , just a great read , and will probaby re read again in the future .

The Light Wielders is another well-written YA fantasy from Jane Shand.
This book was a really engaging read with nicely built characters, some adventures and magic. Everything was well put together, that makes the reader be hooked to the whole story.
