I liked it! a good cast of characters and realistic sibling dynamic :)

read a bit before bed to relax myself but it turns out this book is nerve racking at times. Loved the riddles and tests and would love to read another book set in this world!

gave me a honey dukes vibe!

Wow. What a fantastic, magical, interesting book this was.

A Christmas present from my partner, only just picked up now, this book transported me to a different world - an ideal one if I may say - and took my breath away. I found myself turning page after page after page, hooked on the narrative and just straight up rooting for the characters on their quests.

This book displays the power of imagination and the unbreakable bond of family. Read it.
