Oracles of Delphi Keep

review 1: Sfpl friends, owned,The writing is pretty good, but the author is falling into the trap of assuming a reader has read the entire series and not giving basic explanations of some things. For example, 100 pages in we have physical descriptions of exactly two characters - the protagonist (because another character mentioned some physical traits in dialogue) and a character that was first introduced in this book. It's very possible that the author just doesn't think about such descriptions in general, which would also be annoying to me.I'm also not feeling much connection with either the characters out the plot. I'm betting I won't finish the book. If I wanted thus style of adventure I could go re read the second Percy Jackson series.
review 2: This is an adventure... more book with lots and lots of amazing characters like Caphiera and Atroposa the evil twins who are looking for the Secret Keeper, their brother, and Ian, Carl and the rest of Delphi Keep Orphanage. Vocab. to understand.Sundial- The way people back in the day told time with or in this story a magical trinket.Jacks- it is a game played with little pointy things and a ball often not played in this time period.Trinket- It is a small item that can be used to help you find something in this story. People to knowCaphiera- A evil sorceress that is like Medusa except has the power of ice.Atroposa- A evil sorceress that is sisters with Caphiera and has the power of the wind.The Secret Keeper- He is the one who is hiding the sliver boxes for the evil sorceress.Adria- Wife of the Secret Keeper and the one who helps everyone escape France.Ian- A teenager that lives in Delphi Keep,the Orphanage,with his best friend Carl.Carl- His loyal and devoted friend who saves his life, but yet doesn't die.Theo- The sister of Ian who is the seer or she can see the future in parts and is called an Oracle.The Earl- he is the owner of the Orphanage and helps Ian escape the English Admiral.Agros- His real name is Iyoclease the Oracle. My favorite part of the book is when the sorceress are almost to them,which was not good because they were trying to find them, the green door,and the Secret Keeper,because the night before Ian had asked the sundial to find Theo's jacks. So they tracked the magical waves coming from it because there was a shadow pointing in the way that the item is and it can't be stopped until the item is found. So the witch that was with them could track them when ever the used the magical trinket. So what happened was that they lost the signal because they heard the witch saying that she could track them using it so he pulled it from his pocket and they dug through stuff furiously until they found it. The sisters were in an ally between two buildings when they lost the signal, so they decide that they would go throw both the buildings. Luckily they went into the other building first, and they escape the wrath of the twins. This book is like the best book in the whole world! For instants like when Carl almost died for drinking potion filled with deadly ink. He survived and was able to turn any metal object into any thing he wanted. Read this book it is the bomb! less
