The Quest for the Key

by Margaret Borkowska, Alexander Hayes (Translation)

Find the key to the Crooked World to live the adventure of your life! But beware... in the darkness lurks mortal Enemy. “The Quest for the Key” is a story of Paul, who wants SOMETHING MORE from his life. And of how his wish is granted by mysterious Friend, who takes him on a journey to the Crooked World. To find the truth about himself and his world, the boy will have to go on a long cruise on a sailing ship, discover the secrets of deserted islands and enter dark underground caves. But above all – he will face mortal Enemy. On his way through fairy-tale-like lands, he will be accompanied by a number of elves, dragons, monsters and a secretive griffin. His goal will be to find a key that will allow him to save a person he holds dear.

The Quest for the Key is a very gripping story, full of adventure and surprising moments. It has what I always look for in books: the depth. The book throws down an intellectual challenge to the reader, yet it is neither excessively hard or abstract nor clichéd. For me, it is a perfect combination of fast-flowing and interesting plot (a bit like Harry Potter’s) with wise and surprising message.

I have read the book a couple of times, still finding something new to me. It still grips me anew, so much so that I can’t put it down.

There are few such good fantasy books, I strongly recommend it.

Very simplistically written, but children may enjoy it. I found it had none of the complexity and interest of the Narnia books, however, although aimed at a similar age.

This book was well put together and I enjoyed reading it. The story can be a little slow but it will lead you through many paths and make our believe in life again.
I received a free copy of this book from Reading Deals to read for a fair and honest review.
