Thoroughly enjoyed this book from the prolific (series-wise) but exceedingly slow-writing Isobelle Carmody. I took this with me on a skiing trip to Canada this year. There were many mornings when I had trouble dragging myself out of bed early enough to get first tracks on the snow. I found the story very exciting, intensified by the fact that Carmody split the story between the twin sisters Glynn and Ember. The chapters were long and with each change there was a point of view change between Glynn and Ember and back again. Each change happened at an exciting, mini cliffhanger-type moment which really kept the pace of the book moving along. I would get to the end of a chapter, read a particularly exciting part and then really want to get back to that part of the story, and so I would have to read the next 2 chapters (at least). That's how 10:30 pm can become 1:30 am in the turn of a page. And so, many late nights and yawny mornings whilst reading this book.

An excellent fantasy set in a parallel universe by a talented Australian author. For true fantasy fans, this series has interesting characters, mystery, suspense and romance. The plot is well articulated and riveting, with some inspiring and original ideas the only downside is the length of time between books!
