"He had less kinky hair."

+ delightful
+ Cute Story

Honestly. "Kinky hair" says it all. I recommend this book for whenever there's a dull moment--in the car, on a plane, during a class lecture when the teacher isn't looking. Not that I did that, of course. "Hidden Magic" will delight anyone who likes light romance, good ol' clean magical fun, ...

Well written mythology; better twist at the end

+ The Theif
+ READ THIS!!!!!!!!

Here's the deal: this is a realistic, well written fantasy with a logical, fully-fleshed world, including mythology. But the best part is the twist at the end.

Loved It!

+ An excellent take on young love and witchcraft
+ Grab this book before someone else does!

I read this book at least three times when I was in the eighth grade and I absolutly loved it! This book allowed me to fall into the story and forget about my own surroundings. As a fourteen-year-old girl, I felt as though the characters were real people and as though the story could actually ...

Eos, 2004

Good read

+ Ideal for the younger readers, although the old ones can appreciate it too
+ Enjoyable

This is a well written beginning to a new world for Canavan. It's definately not high fantasy, but it's a good read for someone looking for an escape, or for younger fantasy readers. The plot and characters are strong, if somewhat predictable. This is a nice read from a new series. It gets a ...

Luck in the shadows

+ Best for the characters
+ Is is possible to fall in love with a trilogy of books? Yes, I think.

Another great book from this author, it is really difficult to put it down and you find yourself not wanting it to end, great escapism and very well written. You really need to have the whole trilogy to hand though because once you finish this one you will, I gurantee start on No. 2.

awsome and enchanting

+ An interesting work of fantasy

this book was so amazing i couldnt put it down. Teachers yelled at me in class to stop reading it. You have love fighting and not your everyday migic story. Instead of just having mages and people with magical powers u have everyday people from an empire under attack trying to save their future. ...
