The author's attention to detail, especially in dialogue and scene descriptions, painted a vivid picture of Santalamanchia and its inhabitants. I couldn't put it down, and I'm already eagerly anticipating the next installment in Riley's adventures.
I believe in something greater than myself.

Riley riding the dragonfly sounds like a riveting scene that thrill seekers will enjoy. The cover of the book caught my attention as well; the artwork is beautiful. Thanks for the review!

I've read the book and i must say, i was optimistic at first but the first few chapters got me hooked. I love mystery and thriller and the author did a good job writing this book. The way i sat at the edge of my chair in excitement and how i could vision the world the Author was describing, means a lot to a reader and that just means the author is good at detailing. I love the book and wil try to buy a printed version.

Unfortunately, the book is completely not my cup of tea on all sides. Starting with the age of the main character and ending with the genre. Blame my old age, but to me this journey sounds a bit adolescent, still I believe younger readers are going to love it. Congrats with BOTD!
