She asked my to read it as she hadn't done this sort of thing for a while! I'm not fantasy reader, more an Anne of Green Gables girl. But when I had finished reading her review, I was hooked and I grabbed it straight off her and started reading. I loved it. And have now recommended it to my two sisters.
