The Light wielders
 
Ok , I totally enjoyed this book , to a point where I never wanted it to end or put it down in fact , the characters were so well thought out and the world and story line and was just full of excitement and it was very fast paced and interesting indeed .
The adventure they were on , and magic they could do , and the friends they found and helped, all in one place , the tense and gripping creature that stole the magic from wielders that it had  killed after entering our world , the characters I enjoyed and really felt connected to all of them on this journey , I loved the whole book , and would love if the author maybe could write another on more adventures with these characters and in this world or at the temple , great all round story thrilling and exciting . definitely would recommend this to anyone , that love a good adventure with magic and trouble and characters really connecting with each other through good and bad times ..

The Witch of Ferathan

Gaethen and a little town called  Ferathan , 
I loved the story , and the fast pace when you get half way through , theres alot going on , and I loved it , it wasnt to over whelming either .
One day Gaethen who was trapped down a dark deep hole , one where he could have died , but a stranger who was passing through the town found him down that hole , and of course helped him , the stranger was Naliah .  I loved the characters , especially Naliah and Gaethen , oh and sana , the world they lived .
Ferathan was a quiet and secluded  town , everyone knew everyone , so when this young woman passes through people notice her , and the few weird things that happen while she's there . she was young and beautiful  , the towns folk loved her  but there was something strange about her .
Gaethans friend Jermaine was always a bit more suspicious , so after he heard the story  of how she rescued him , that made him more suspicious of her indeed , jermaine  needed to find out more ,and set off to visit the king of the kingdom , Meanwhile  Gaethan wanted to find Naliah ,so went looking for her , and what he found was a lost sheep that wasn't lost or dead , but he also found Naliah . 
 I found it sad in places. but overall a great read fast moving and exciting , and would recommend to any one that likes a love story , with magic and dark monsters , a priest, and a witch from far away .  
I look forward to reading the next book and will do soon .
