To be honest ...your review of the book is more interesting than the sample of the book that I read. From the little pages I read, all I could see was blocks of descriptions and very little dialogues. I might have to pass on this book. But I'm glad you liked it!

What a superb review! I love mystery, and your mention of Riley riding a humongous dragonfly intrigued me! Having sampled this book and read your review, I feel that the Watch of Unreal Time activated by Riley's discovery of a book-like artifact, dragonfly rides, and colourful "muckin'-about-in-my-hedge" language blended in this suspenseful story make this novel feel like a perfect fantasy read!
