A great book by a first time author. A globe trotting, adventure filled, fantasy book about two sisters who must learn to deal with each others shortcomings and find each others strengths is a great read. The sisters actually act like sisters through out the entire book. with the attention to detail that the author puts into each new locale, you can tell that she has done her research or has actually been there. Language, flora, fauna and customs are all a part of the story that unfold in a very unforced manner. While it is aimed at the "Adolescent Literature" crowd, it is a very fun and enjoyable read for an "Adult."

(Use of the "" is to enforce how stupid I find the terms Adolescent Lit and Adult Lit.)
