A Kid's Review

This review is from: All That Glitters (Avalon, 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

I found this book o.k. I really don't get why the most unlikeable character in the series is the most powerful. She is a snobby brat(in my opinion). Others may find her interesting. Kara's snobbiness doesn't mess with the good plot, though. However, I would have much preferred that Adriane or Emily were the heroine, as they are much more nice. I can relate to them more. An over-all interesting book.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: All That Glitters (Avalon, 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was GREAT! Emily is still my favorite, than Kara, than Adrianne. Having another book in the series that focouses on another girl changes what I see in them (My fovorites used to be Emily, Adrienne, Kara). It shows Kara and Adrienne fighting a lot, and Emily is still the peacemaker. Kara FINALLY finds a jem (a unicorn jewel), but that's when the trouble starts. Minature Dragons start popping up and adoring Kara, Banshee's try to take the jewel, and fry Kara's hair, but her magic turns it RAINBOW instead. And water faeriementals warn of danger. Plus, you see Kara torn between her friends Tiffany, Heather, and Molly and Ravenswod. But that's not all! Kara bonds with a magical cat named Lyra, and has a dangerous encounter with the Dark Sorceress herself....

This review is from: All That Glitters (Avalon, 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

I don't get into reading too much, but I read the first book and now this one and I am officially hooked. I have started the third book now and can't wait for the fourth to be released. What a wonderful series for kids my age. The characters are great in this book. So real to me. I love how each story has a different girl for the main character.
