rid the Deltora of the Shadow Lord . Their first goal is the sinister
forest of silence but can they survive? If you want to know, read the book.
I chose this book because my brother told me that when he was my age,
he read this book and he really enjoyed it and also because my favourite book
genre is fantasy.
What I enjoyed the most in this book was the fact that there was a lot
of suspense and I pretty much read it in two days because I was so immersed
into it.
I would recommend this book to all the people
who like fantasy stories. This book is becoming more and more addictive as you
keep reading. But I would not recommend this book to adults because it is a bit
to childish. I would rather recommend it to people around 12-15 years old.
I would give fifteen out of twenty for this
book.
