Review for The Poisoned Princess:
The Poisoned Princess (Book 1 of the Warders), is a fun book, appropriate for all ages. A great underdog story with trials, tribulations, excitement and good over evil – everything you need for a great Fantastic Fiction. The characters are well-defined, likable (and hate-able) and easy to identify with. If you have ever enjoyed stories like the Belgariad, Sword of Truth, Harry Potter or The Earthsea stories, then you must read this book. It has been a long time since I have been sorry to see a book end. I cannot wait for the next installment to see how things develop for Toran, Adara, and the others. ~ Richard Plotka
