Four Star Rating
Tess lives with her mother and father near the Dragonswood. She goes there, against what she is supposed to do, to cry after her father hurts and scolds her. But going into the Dragonswood is said to be a sign of being a witch. Lady Adela comes, the witch hunter, and Tess is grabbed and accused of being a one. She escapes and goes on the run, along with Meg and Poppy, her two friends.
What's so great about it?
I couldn't stop reading. The story grabbed me and held be glued to the pages of the book. I thought that it was even better than its companion book, Dragon's Keep. There are dragons, and fairies, and will o' the wisps, and magic. It was well written, too. When the main character, Tess, felt an emotion, I felt it also. Every time she was sad, or hurt, or angry, I felt it along with her.
Tess is a very strong character. She is brave, and loyal, and learns from the honorable and not so honorable deeds that people do for her and for others. She will risk just about anything to save her friends.
Every character had their own personality. Tess's friends are completely different. I might not have liked all of their personalities, but that doesn't mean that I didn't like them in the story. They all played crucial parts in the plot. Without those characteristics, the story probably wouldn't have gone the same way.
What's not so great about it?
There honestly weren't any major things that I did not like about this book. The only one was that I had trouble picturing certain scenes. There weren't many detailed descriptions of places.
