My Opinion:
This is the best kind of fantasy one could find, filled with all four elements, magic and wonder.
I was literally transported to another world in my mind, and even though the book compares itself to Chronicles of Narnia, I went somewhere all together different. But better different. It does carry attributes that are similar, like talking animals, but they don't talk to everyone.
There were moments where Joran frustrated me with his griping and misery, but in the end I was glad it was there. It belonged after all.
The wizard was the star though, read it and you will see why!
A great way to start the new year!
5/5
Recommend? Definitely!

I have a copy of this book that I got via netGalley, and it's sitting pretty close to the top of my TBR list. Good to know that it comes with a good recommendation, too; that makes me want to hurry up and get to reading it that much quicker!
