Summary: 5 Stars
Valley of the Lost has been the best of the Deltora Quest books, because it more than the others encourages readers to solve plot puzzles before the characters do.For instance, when Barda, Jasmine and Leif reach the guardian's abode of the seventh and final gem, they must undergo certain trials to gain the jewel. Further, each part of answer to the challenge question is another enigma all in itself. Some puzzles I figured out before the book gave them up, others stumped me. I believe even children in junior high would find this a delicious read.
Some very important series-broad plot lines are revealed in this book about Tora's link to Del; don't miss this one!
Plus: Doom's true identity is finally revealed!
Book Review: The Valley of the Lost Minds
Summary: 5 Stars
In this thrilling seventh installment to DELTORA QUEST series I had nightmares about. Hey I read Stephen King novels and laugh so that's saying a lot. It wasn't the prospect of dissapearing into a Valley: or guy with Hate, Greed, Pride and envy strapped to his chest. It was the fact the characters were solving all these difficult riddles that scared me. They solve so many difficult riddles and yet when it comes to recognizing who's the villain there just so stupid. It takes me weeks so solve puzzles that take them minutes to solve. Why don't you try? It takes minutes to find the villain but to them seconds. So Who's smarter
Have I lost you?
