"Possessed of incisive humor and an uncanny knack for startling juxtaposition, Dušan Makavejev uses a veritable crazy quilt of stylistic elements to create an affecting portrait, at once funny and heartbreaking, of a romance gone awry, while at the same time lambasting the conventions and pretenses of society, including, not least, the constraints of narrative cinema itself."

Milly Bobby Brown starring fantasy adventure, that put me very much in mind of a modern Dragonheart / Dragonslayer hybrid of a movie, with elements of romance, horror and action adventure going on throughout.

The first half hour or so is maybe a bit slow, and the finale seems almost 'tacked on', but the middle portion (in the cave) is actually enjoyable enough.

I will admit that I had no idea what I was reading when I started this book. I liked the cover and thought to check it out. So glad that I did. The story was spectacular and the elements coming together throughout made the story seem cohesive. The main character Ambry grows so much during the story! A definate read if you are into magic, romance, and adventure

4.5 stars.

I loved the world building and the stilt walking. Very imaginative.

This is my third book by the author, the others being Vampire Seeker and Witch, which were both brilliant. This was no different.

The author has this way of writing a good romance mixed with paranormal elements that are sometimes a little creepy. This was a little less on the romance but it was still amazing and has left me wanting the next book NOW!

I need to know what's going to happen when they get to the Island!

If you haven't read a Tim O'Rourke book yet, you totally should!

Even though the books so dark it is seen through the eyes of someone who at least compared to the other characters in the book is so innocent as a result readers are left in a state of shock with the main character as they experience this roller coaster (1 more)
With her. The book really has anything you could ask for romance adventure and fantasy and the author does such a good job at displaying these elements appropriately.

I really enjoyed this book as it kept me captivated the whole time. I was curious to see how extensive the children's powers were. It was heart breaking when her parents didn't remember her. I can't imagine having that kind of power. I am a bit disappointed in the movie version as it did not live up to the book I had very much enjoyed. I am aware this is part of a series though I have not read the other books I do look forward to finding out more of the story.
