OK, I read the first book and thought it was the best book on the face of the earth, but the second book is EVEN BETTER!!!! The whole series is the best things I've ever read, and that's saying something because I've read *quite* alot of books! (I'm a HUGE Harry Potter fan and I think that this book is even better than those!!!!!!!!) These books have a little of everything in them: action, adventure, comedy, romance, etc. That's why they're absolutly perfect! The plot is so captivating that made it EXTREMELY hard to put down. Buying this book is SOOOOOOO worth it, take my word for it!!!!!!! Kudos to Alison Croggon, author of the best book on earth! GO PELLINOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :)
