My Review:

This is a great read for kids and I found it a fun read. It is only book one, and has a lot of world building. It was interesting to read about wizards, guardians, etc. It is a rather long book for young readers, at 470 pages. I definitely think that this could have been broken up into smaller parts, or that some descriptions could have been left out. The end is weird, and I wish I knew what was behind that passageway. The plot reminded me of The Lord of The Rings. As a kids book this is great, even with it's length. However I have to give it a 3/5. Nothing really stood out to me. I was given a copy. All opinions are my own.
