And where the Panda talks, a Masked Man mumbles and many white orchids turn to red, what is sacrificed inside this book leaves this magical world truely in awe!</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>'The character of Faith, the powerful, intellectual heroine, but also best friend and love interest to main character Perry, was a favourite of mine. Her strength throughout the book, especially the start, is ladylike, but also a great role model of tough feminism. The way she takes on the world in the opening, while sticking to her interest in art, is beautiful. This dwindles a little as the events of the book take its toll on her, but resilience is a formidable ally which she draws on in times of need.' <strong>-</strong> <strong>Compulsive Reader.</strong></p><br></p>'The world is inventive and original, and every facet of the setting is detailed meticulously in the exposition. As the characters become more aware of their magical powers and travel farther away from their home, the inventiveness ramps up considerably. Coupled with the strong core group of characters, this makes for an enjoyable read.' <strong>-</strong> <strong>Booklife.</strong></p><br></p>'The novel would be a great read for fans of series such as The Hunger Games and Divergent. Prospective readers should buckle up and prepare themselves for an adventure that is fuelled by a fight to survive after witnessing tragedy and losing all you've ever known. I think 17-year-old author, Oliver Smuhar, has a very bright career in store for him.' <strong>-</strong> <strong>Reader Views.</strong></p><br></p>'Smuhar's book is a shining example of dark young adult fantasy that keeps you guessing until the very end-think Deltora Quest meets the Hunger Games with an awesome hybrid dragon creature made of smoke thrown in for good luck. Sadly though, we'll have to wait until the next book to find out what happens to Perry and his newfound animal friends, and to discover the gift from the man in the boat.' <strong>-</strong> <strong>Expert Editors.</strong></p><p> </p><br>
