5 Stars Magical! Absolutely Magical.
Magic is one of my favorite words, so I do not use the word "magical" lightly. It can mean different things to different people. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and yes, it was about magic, but there is something more deep to the plot than just Anya being sent on a mission from the queen and performing magic. The story was very well-written and gripping. The author took great care in writing this story and performing magic with the journey and twists that any one who loves a good "magic" story, for everyone young and young at heart.
