Court intrigue, double-crosses, secrets-- an exciting read. I look forward to sharing this book with kids and reading the next two books.
I was SO taken with this book. Though I would consider this an excellent "boy book," this girly girl loved it and could hardly put it down and am listening to the sequel. It is packed with adventure and the plot twists and turns constantly. It is full of surprises -- and I loved to be surprised.

An excellent book that I could not put down. It is action packed, but the characters are deep too. Readers really learn to understand why the characters act the way they do, but in a natural way. Can't wait for the rest of the trilogy!

I listened to the audio and enjoyed the story, I think it's a good book for boys 4th grade and up (girls would like it as well).

Just started reading this five minutes ago, read the first chapter and I totally want to finish this book. I love a book that draws me in that quickly. Good job Jennifer A. Nielsen.
Great book! Looking forward to reading the other books when they come out. I am glad that it ended the way it did. Very satisfying!
A book worth reading! It's a clean read. ...more
