LOVE THIS GOODREADS 5 star REVIEW! *****My son has loved this book! He has struggled to read his whole life and when we purchased this book...he got struck right in and the pride he felt was awesome. I have loved seeing him so involved and dedicated to his reading. My older son has started reading and he's really enjoying it too! Highly recommend! I want to buy a second book for my sister's classroom!
I loved reading this book! The world building was amazing! I found myself on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next! I can’t wait to read the next book! ~ Willaspahela, LibraryThing, Early Reviewers
Excellent character development, great concept and storyline... The start immediately engaged and I do think the use of language is fantastic... Best young adult book I have read in years and I read a few to the kids when they were younger. ~ Sean, ferocious reader

A fantastic ride from the very first page...The reader is rocketed through a string of adventures as Brave and True bristle along, each searching for answers...I loved the engaging supporting cast too, the wonderful world building and the twisty plot that entertains as it carries you along. Lots of fast flowing and witty dialogue, together with landscapes that leave you gasping with delight. I look forward to Book Two, once I’ve caught my breath.
