My Review

*****

(5 stars)

Little Orphan Anvil was a short and well worth it read. It's a blend of suspense and magic. The main plot of this Sci-Fi story flows well and the characters are well thought out. There was a few places within the story that seemed drawn out and it had a hard time keeping my attention. I chose to read on and I'm happy that I did. Towards the end of the book is when I was really pulled in and had to continue until the end. I had to find out what happened. I was completely surprised by some of the twists and turns within the story.

This book is appropriate for all ages. I may even pass it on to my six year old daughter and read it to her. The book is perfect for young readers. It had me laughing and sitting at the edge of my seat at times in suspense. I recommend this to all readers both young and adult. I think it's very enjoyable and will be reading the rest of the Trilogy.
