The Crystilleries of Echoland.

The crystilleries of Echoland is an enchanting story of a twelve year old boy named Will Cleary. When Will and his twin sister disappeared,he was the only one to return a week later. After 10 years he and his parents are still grieving the disappearance of his sister,but his pet wolf and pet falcon leads Will to an extraordinary place called Echoland. Echoland is a magical place where all the echoes lives and so Will learns that for every person there is in his realm,there is an echo of that person in Echoland. Unfortunately Echoland is under the ruling of a cruel king who brought forth the law of death. With the law of death in place many innocent sounds and echoes dies and it is now up to Will and his close friends top stop the king and the fatesealers and bring peace to Echoland.

Dew Pellucid has a wonderful imagination and she created the most beautiful land called Echoland. With every new setting she go's to new lengths to describe everything to the perfect detail. She characterise each and every character uniquely and she never describes anything in the same way. She also describes every object,like books,to the perfect detail as is she were holding these books while writing the story. The fact that she can describes everything magnificently makes the story so enjoyable to read. Apart from her incredible descriptions,she had me sitting on the edge of my seat during each chapter. You never expect the things that happen, you also don't know what may happen next in the story, everything catches you by suprise and that is what I love about this story.

I have no negative comment about her book. I really enjoyed reading the book and I don't think it could get any better. Dew Pellucid is a great writer and she has an exceptional imagination I as a reader is gratefull that she shared The crystilleties of Echoland with the world.

I'm giving this book a 4 out of 4 star rating. I don't think anyone could have captured this story better or described it better than Dew Pellucid herself. There is nothing I would change about this story.

I would recommend this book to teenagers who enjoys fantasies. They will get lost in Echoland just as I had. I don't think most adults would particularly enjoy the book as much as teenagers would,although I am an adult and I must say that I truly enjoyed the book. It depends on the person but I would recommend the book.
