I really liked this. The back cover book blurb info is a little misleading, but I can't say how without giving a spoiler. The writing was good with the exception of one scene that I felt was longer than it needed to be. There are a lot of twists and turns. I hope the new Disney channel show is based on the books after reading this one. Now I will start book 2 in the trilogy, Shadow Dawn. (Picture not Elora.) #fantasybooks
