Bought this book on a whim way back when, along with many others. I've decided to look at my older books that I haven't read yet for one reason or another. I should've picked up this book a lot sooner! This is a great story. I didn't remember what it was about, but I was so pleasantly surprised! The story of Ryann, Emmy, Nox and Lad. When I found out the name of Lad I thought that this wouldn't be any good. But was I in for a surprise! If you like "magical/out of this world/fairytale" stories, I really recommend you read the synopsis of this book and read it. It's hard for me to describe the genre exactly, but it was great in my opinion!
