5.0 out of 5 stars Move over Harry Potter, November 8, 2000

This review is from: The Chaos Scroll (Poppan Valley Trilogy) (Paperback)

What a fun read. I couldn't put it down, stayed up all night reading it. I highly recommend this book. The action is non-stop and the characters are so real you feel as if you know them. Loved the monsters and unusual characters. Who says this is a Young Adult book - I loved it and I'm over 21!

This review is from: The Chaos Scroll (Poppan Valley Trilogy) (Paperback)

Long ago a huge war erupted when a Seer named Var tried to control all. At the end of it Var was defeated, but not destroyed. Power was considered too tempting for any mortal to keep. So each Seer wrote out his knowledge. No one was allowed to share their knowledge or spells with another. Then it was all joined together and hidden in a safe place, under guard. It became known as The Chaos Scroll. It was the only known protection against Var. Master Elzabar was a powerful Seer. He had a vision and a prophecy was made!

Var had learned the secret for eternal life. After four hundred years, most of the Seers were dead, and Var returned to Poppan Valley for revenge! He began by kidnaping Briana, a married woman whom he coveted. Her husband was Zernue, the Keeper of the Valley. Their children would embark on a dangerous journey for help against Var and the dark riders. Laila and Tokar, as foretold, would battle magic, demons, and ultimately Var, himself. The world's fate would rest in their young hands!

**** A fanciful tale of magic! Personally, I believe this book is perfect for teens and young adults. However, all ages will find themselves intrigued. Lots of colorful characters and creatures to spark the imagination. Recommended! ****
