I started to read this book on a lazy Saturday morning and before I noticed I had almost finished it. The storyline is very captivating and the characters quite realistic. I loved that this story has something for everyone and somehow felt a bit of a ‘rebel’ in its genre. That said even though this is obviously aimed at young adult readers I think this is a story that everyone who loves a good fantasy story with a hint of magic will enjoy. I can’t wait to read the next installment in this series!

I can easily see this book turning into a major movie!

Circle of Five opens up and welcomes you from the start with a suspenseful mystery. Immediately I was drawn to the story and possibility of discoveries. I love the authors poetic writing style that lures it's readers in. There is something unique in the telling of this story. I am curious as I read with gusto as the pages fly by. This is an enthralling story that kept me entertained all the way through. This was an easy book to get hooked on and attached to the likable characters that all come alive throughout the pages. I think the author is very talented and has a special way of engaging his readers. This is one of those books that is easy to fall into and sad when it is over. I love the creative energy and the heart that went into writing this wonderful story. Five stars without a doubt!
