Yet another compelling read by a debut author, one that makes you go WOW in every manner. For a 14 year old she has done an amazing job not only in the plot but also in the narration of the story. The most important thing in writing a fantasy is that the author has to weave a very intricate web of minute details nicely enough to keep the reader engrossed till the end and finally reveal it all in such a fashion that there are no loose ends left in it. And that is where the author gains a double bonus.
The plot is really enthralling to read and I loved the way how she kept the narration tight by getting straight to the action grabbing a reader's attention immediately. I loved the well defined characters, they give you a feeling of knowing them well enough to enjoy their journey. At some places the maze scenes do get confusing but somehow I feel it was done with an intention to retain the thrill in the plot and narration. Kudos to the author for this!
The best part of this book is its language, the maturity and the power of her description. For this the book becomes un-put-down-able. You want to read it one go ( the fact that it is a short one also acts as a bonus point) and you enjoy it till the last word. Yes there are some questions which were left unanswered and some characters whose roles not justified in this part but then perhaps that is why there are going to be further more parts to this story where finally it will all fall into place.
I am eagerly waiting for the next part now and would recommend this book to each and every YA fantasy lover. I am sure this book will leave you asking for more.
