I absolutely loved it! 5 stars

I fell in love with Freya from the very beginning. I held my breath, laughed, cheered, and cried as I followed her and her family through their adventures. No spoilers of course… but this is one of my favourites. You just absolutely fall in love with the characters and stick with them to the very end. I could not WAIT for Tyrelia (Book 2) to come out once I had finished Medar.

I definitely recommend for EVERYONE! But in particular, tweens. Woohoo Sharon!!!
