| These books need a good level of concentration and stamina. A very good choice for boys as well as girls. |
| Third in the Darkweaver Legacy quartet. Mark Robson gets better with each story, this is by far the best, the intricacies and turns from one set of characters to another is masterful. There is so much going on here and yet he holds it all together with style. His descriptions of life in the gladiatorial arena are brilliant and will enthral any young reader who liked Gladiator. Again he picks out new characters to fill out and we see different aspects of all the heroes from the last two books. They are all here and I can only wonder how he keeps so many threads of the storyline going in his head. A brilliant book! |
| Other books by Mark Robson include The Chosen One, The Forging of the Sword, The Trail of the Huntress. |
