review 1: This is the kind of book that I absolutely love to read.I suppose this is quite simply targeted at young adults, though. You might refer to other reviews that state how utterly predictable this is for adults.Well, for me, the greatest appeal is the poetic language. Okay, it might've seemed excessive at times but I just love how beautiful it sounds. The characters are lovely too: I felt for Yul and I liked Sylvie's mysticality. Yeah, their relationship is predictable, but... hey, they have their share of hardships too. It's not sickly sweet or irritatingly angst-filled so I'm fine with that....can't produce a more critical review than this (since when have my reviews been really analytical?) so I'll just say that I really loved this book and would definitely look forward to... more the next in the series.
review 2: There is a hidden place within England, a place of magic where people follow the old ways. And that's where this story takes place.Sylvie is poisoned by modern society and comes to Stonewylde. She is weak, but she slowly finds strength and her way. Still at one time I did fear her going tstl on me as she become friends with someone she had seen do something bad. But then again she is just that nice. Yul, is a village boy who I felt sorry for. This is not a nice society. I quickly saw the faults through his eyes. The Magus who is in charge can say whatever he wants to but this is a feudal society where some reap the benefits of the sweat of others backs. Poor Yul, he is just so broken.Yes this may seem like the perfect place, but there is a darkness over it all too. I also felt like some are pushed too much when it comes to a certain ritual. But I shall say no more. It's the old ways and it makes it to one good story. Darkness and light.The book may end with a glimmer of hope but it's far from over and it made me want to jump at the next one at once.A YA fantasy/paranormal story that will bring you friendship, injustice and budding romance. less
