This book is fantastic! I am reading it via my computer so it's taking me longer than it should but if I had it in paper format I'm sure I would have read it within a couple days. It's very well written. The suspense holds you captive, making you want to keep reading. It's a fun fantastical read. I'm going to go out and buy it (since I work at a library I don't buy books very often, only the ones I think are worth it).

This was a very enjoyable story. It reminded me a bit of the Spiderwick Chronicles. I am looking forward to watching Quinton Wall grow as an author. He has a great deal of potential and a vivid imagination.

Seed of Hope is a very well written work. I quite enjoyed the telling of this story of a mystical nature. Quinton managed to tell a distinctive story that didn't feel derivative unlike many works in this genre.

I would certainly recommend this book to those who like magic based stories that work for both the adult and YA crowd.

I am looking forward to future works by this author.
