Hi Everyone,
Welcome to the world of Landovel - This is book one of the Landovel quest.
Once again, I only picked up this book because the box set was perfectly illustrated and the books inside didn't let me down either, with coloured edges and brightly enticing illustrations on every cover.
Emily Rodda hasn't let me down in the past, and according to book one of this quest, she will keep me reading to the end of book three. The world-building is fantastic. You will start an adventure with Derry from the very first page. Each character has their own personality, unique from the others, particularly Num, who has his own unique form of communicating. As you traverse through the pages, you will see that Num will become invaluable to the group. Then there is Cat who, like his name, is a rivalrous, feisty character. And Straw. Just read the book!
I have started this journey with them, and I am now on book two which I will bring to you over the coming weeks. Right now, I am not sure who to trust but I am sure that opinion will soon evolve.
Description:
Till the Tower Falls,
Till the Great Bell Calls...
Derry remembers nothing before his capture by the vicious sea raider, Cram. Life as Cram's poison taster is all he knows, and books are his only friends. The one clue to his past is that he was taken along with others fleeing the kingdom of True Landovel.
Then a mysterious traveller comes to Cram's Rock, pursued by sinister El - strange beings Derry had thought were myths. The coded journal she leaves behind is vitally important - and the secrets it holds will change everything.
Derry doesn't know it yet, but plots are hatching beyond the horizon - plots that will draw him into a dangerous journey.
