The been in this town and now it was time to leave on a boat. That was another filler chapter...

I couldn't say what that chapter was about it just sounds like they are in this new town called Threefork and new characters are being introduced. Nothing much happens...

I can't say I understood why that chapter is in the book. It doesn't move the story forward. it's the witch talking nonsense things to her helpers and how worthless they are. To bring the brothers to her so she can make them worthless like them.

I hope this book picks up again. I didn't really care for that chapter on Asandra's upbringing and how she was abandoned. I think that chapter could have been written better it could have been cleaned up better, one character saying one thing about her, then taking it back once he realized something. She seemed strong but the way that happened she made herself weak. Then again it could have been left out of the book.

Wow the place they were in caught fire out of nowhere but could have been the people on the outside trying to kill them. They managed to escape and the building finally collapsed in on itself bringing the roof down into the inside of the building itself, making sparks to go up. What a crazy scene this broke them.

Now I feel like we are getting somewhere the adventure has started we are coming into the world of the fey. This is just the beginning there is a queen of this world named Elysabel. There wasn't a king she had to let him go though she mentioned he was beautiful...

Seems like a sorceress is behind the things that are happening at the building the boys are at with the other travelers. This sorceress is watching them now...

Finally the story is picking up some all of a sudden there is a scene of the birds trying to attack from the outside of the building they are in. There seems to be someone or something also trying to get through the door to this place but isn't making its way in, but is it human or something else? I'm not sure...

Ok I thought it was just me. A lot of that chapter reminded me of The Lord of the Rings with all the traveling the characters are doing by foot on land. A lot of landscape descriptions and sky details. I was bored reading all of that. I thought I wasn't focused, but it's definitely this chapter. It didn't get any action until the ending when the birds started to attack...

The first slow chapter in the book so far. It just seemed like they were getting ready to take the boys somewhere so they could be on their way home. Or try to find an answer to why they were in Karac Tor and why it was happening now...
