I enjoyed this book very, very much. The characters were fantastic, just like one would expect from a book for younger readers: from the wicked, mercenary old uncle to the kind, scattered old grandfather (who is more than he seems). The young hero, Jason, had me charmed from the beginning. His sisters were adorable -- and don't even get me started on Edsel and Etain.Franks takes classic elements of children's fantasy and makes them his own. The action is tightly written, and even though the themes are familiar, the plot snaps with surprises. I can't wait to read the next one!If you're a fan of The Dark Is Rising sequence, Celtic mythology, or Arthurian tales, you'd better pick this up. It won't disappoint.
