The SILVER CROWN

Rating:
Summary: Great for in-between readings.
Review: My mother gave me this book as something to help pass the time between the fifth and sixth Harry Potter books (my searches are almost always in vain, however) When I first saw the book, I expected nothing more than your average fantasy novel...villian that doesn't do much, hero that has serious problems, clueless sidekicks.

But I was surprised.

For one, by the third chapter into the book, I was intrigued. Despite what I thought to be a very abrupt jolt into the plot line (second page of the book, believe it or not) I was not disappointed; the plot, although mainly quite twistless, kept you wanting to read more. The main character is someone most girls, preteens and early teens can feel comfortable reading about...namely, she's anything but perfect. The research behind the villian(s) was very well done, and I can't give this book anything less than an A+. Well done!
