When Chalice sets off for Branbury in the middle of the night with her grandfather's instructions, she has no idea of the dangers that await her. The King's men have destroyed her home village of Canton and she is suddenly thrown into a Terravailian world that she does not know. Lost and alone, she is hard pressed to evade the iron grasp of the madman who rules the land. With the help of a friendly Chinuk, an old man, and a book that she discovers along the way, not only does she find true friends and true love, but she also finds her true self and what it means to be the Raie'Chaelia.
This book was....interesting. Every time I thought I have it figured out, something else would happen!
I have no idea how to describe this novel. It really doesn't fit in to any genre category. Yes, its fantasy, but their is more to it.
Melissa has created a very creative, and different world. Her writing is new and fresh! I felt that their where some parts of the book that didn't need to be included. An example is when their would be to much details in a paragraph that made the book seem very long. I
felt that their was a lot of extra parts and sub-stories that didn't need to be included.
The characters are developed and interesting! Chalice is a great hero I really liked her. And I loved Jeremiah.
Overall this was a great fantasy read. Just to long.
