"The Immortals series is fantastic. The Beka Cooper series is also great."
Sarah Murnane
"Probably my favourite of the four novels (the last being second) just because of how the main character explores herself and challenges her worldviews throughout the novel!"
Sydney Ouderkirk
"Pros:<br/><br/>I love how the author slowly introduces another culture. Alanna doesn’t always understand at first but through curiosity and necessity she learns just how lovely some of their traditions are. I wish this was something more often explored so that curiosity and interest in something different were more accepted and encouraged.<br/><br/>Cons:<br/><br/>These stories are perfect but I will always want there to be more."
