My two boys and I fell in love with this book as soon as we started reading it. The characters, the language, the vivid descriptions and the storyline are nothing short of extraordinary.

Stunning, mystical, adventure story and illustrations. I highly recommend! The Trilogy of Two

This is actually a YA novel...well done, and clever --a good gift for a young person with imagination. Magic, unusual families, creatures and more magic. Unfortunately, I did not realize that when I bought the book. Not really for (um) experienced readers.

Despite no longer being a young adult... I really loved this book. Vivid descriptions, and a very engaging plot. I loved the world created by the author and would definitely recommend this book for Middle Schoolers and above!

Love the drawings - a little disappointed in the writing and story.

A stunning novel. The illustrations that accompany this magical story are fantastic. What a pleasure to read! I can't wait to read this with my daughter when she is older.

Adorable and sharply written, readers of all ages will appreciate this special book. The illustrations make the vivid imagery come alive. Fans want more...

This book swept me away! Juman Malouf has created a weird magical world worthy of Lewis Carroll and Emily Bronte. Edward Gorey would've loved the cape of cats and her illustrations are as mesmerizing as the story. Can't wait to read with my daughter.

I only have one problem with this book, which I'll get out of the way first:

The romance. Normally I really don't mind it, and sometimes I like it, but I'm afraid this one is not the best. The author would have been better off just leaving it and working on the rest.

Anyway, other than that, I found the book satisfyingly strange. It was refreshingly original, which is uncommon for fantasy and one of the best qualities of this book. The fantsy theme is dark and serious, but gripping and exciting too.

When identical twins Sonja and Charlotte have their Talents (and their magic) stolen and adoptive mother kidnapped, they find themselves in a fantastical land amongst Changelings, Swifters, Tiffins, Pearl Catchers and many more creatures. Together they must set aside their arguements and differences to save both worlds from catastrophe, before it's too late.

The character cast are wonderfully eccentric and unique- lonely Charlotte, who longs for love, grumpy Sonja, who feels forgotten and abandoned, bitter Alexandria, with deep pain and a secret hidden inside, kindly Tatty, who cares for the twins, happy Moritz, a comforting soul, jokey Wolf Boy, who's annoying as hell, and the unmistaleably evil Contessa and her creations, who hopes to cover the world in one city and rule it all.

The descriptions are rich and vivid, and the author illustrates wonderfully with not only her exquisite pencil drawings, but also her words, and I was able to visualize every event and character perfectly. Juman Malouf spins a gripping, enchanting, dangerous and magical world that any reader age 12-14 will delight in stepping into. Despite the length of three books, and 46 chapters, I wished there was more! This will satisfy the cravings of fans of books such as A Series Of Unfortunate Events, His Dark Materials, Harry Potter and others.

I could go on and on, but I think that's about everything. Thank you to the author, Juman Malouf, for her excellent debut, and thank you fo reading!
