Rating:

a nice start to a series

Summary: There is a curse on twins in the Kingdom of Falmoor. Ever since the confrontation between the good witch Elora and evil sorcerer Larque, no set of twins has ever grown up intact. One twin always dies or disappears. At four years old, Arianna's twin brother Asher vanished. Now that she's nearly thirteen, Arianna learns that Asher is still alive and if she can rescue him she and Asher may be able to save Falmoor.
My opinion: I love the central plot in this book. It's a great world with some interesting characters and solid plot twists. I did feel like the time span was perhaps too long. Where Ariana and Asher are meant to be the main characters I'd have liked to have seen the book start with them rather than with their parent's childhood. Still, a solid start to a series and likely to go over well with young fans of fantasy.
