Picked up Greg James' young adult fantasy to escape from the thriller and horror books I normally read. And what an entertaining escape it was. Sarah the MC is plucked from her humdrum world of bus rides and school and taken to the fantasy world of Seythe. The story begins with a bang and the banging just continues. The author's descriptive imagery and action packed scenes--sometimes quite brutal--will make it difficult to break away from the story. On her journey, Sarah meets a cadre of interesting characters--good, evil and very evil--on her quest to discover the one weapon that can save her and those she cares about. Sorcery, adventure, treachery, magic, The Sword of Sighs has it all. Compelling characters and many plot twists make this YA fantasy one heck of a fantasy ride. Hang on and start turning (or flicking on your e reader) the pages! This book is the first in a series too! Wow!
