Blogger’s Note:
This is an amazing book. It might be real boring at first, but it’s real exciting in the middle! It’s one of the best books I’ve read. Kindda have some suspense, this one. I find it really nice and thrilling. Like there is danger at every turn. And there is. Of course, it might not be a match with horror stories, but I can say it’s really well done. WARNING: Not really a lot of humor in this book, but something in it keeps you reading on. P.S.: Part Two of the old kingdom series. There are 3. Book one: Sabriel; Two: Lirael; Three: Abhorsen.
