As a lover of fantasy works, I was pleasantly surprised with this story. The characters are strong and determined even when facing adversity, dealing with problems with such creativity that it left me smiling. The work is well written and the story flows nicely. A lot of the religious undertones are eerily similar to those of Christianity, so if you’re easily offended by this religion’s past (or believe that past to be false), you may have some issues… or need to do some self-reflecting. I’m curious to see how the twins progress with their powers, as it seems like there are great things in store for their future, now that their mentor is gone and they must face the witch in the without him. I received the audible version for free, and in the beginning I wasn’t sure I was ok with the narrator’s portrayal of female voices, but their overall performance had me hooked, and I’m glad I stayed.
