The characters are played out well without even a mistake or stutter. The sceneries of this book are described with elaborate details and keeps on topis. Most people who read this book won't be able to put it down. If you have heart problems then don't read this book because it causes your heart to race from the suspense. In this book there's a girl name Donavah and she goes to a school for the magically gifted along with her brother, Breyard. Breyard "steals" a dragon egg from a wagon that was headed towards the king's palace. Breyard drags Donavah into this mess by having her there when the egg hatches in his room. Breyard is sent off to prison awaiting his execution. Now the dragon is gone, and it's up to Donavah to save Breyard and find the dragon before it's too late. -Nemfer Blakchheart-

Unexpected twists and turns!

Ms. Garrison's book is a wonderful read. It's main character experiences frustrations, uncertainties of her life and the denial that she is gifted. Young adults will relate to her immediately. Go out and buy this book, even if you're not a young adult. It's a wonderful read. Ms. Garrison is highly talented story teller and her plot is original and fast-moving. I look forward to reading all of the stories in this series.

Unexpected twists

This is not the straightforward young-hero-meets-dragon story that I expected. Terie Garrison has given us a subtly layered adventure with unexpected twists and a surprise ending. Indeed, the book leaves so much unresolved, so many mysteries unexplained that you will want to immediately proceed to the sequel, WinterMaejic, to see what happens next.

A Dragon Lover's Delight!

On a quest to rescue her imprisoned brother, Donovah sets out on a path that leads her through danger, adventure, and a discover about herself that even she can't believe! Autumn Quest is a tale of friends, faith, and mythical magic. A page turner from the start, it left me anxious for the next book in this series.

AUTUMNQUEST immediately starts at a blistering pace. Donavah attends a school for those with the gift of maejic. Everything is going wonderfully with her studies, until her brother reveals that he has a dragon egg in his possession; a crime punishable by death! Without warning, the egg hatches to reveal a small red dragon, the rarest of its kind. Donavah's brother is found and captured by soldiers. Desperate, Donavah abandons school with her lunch boy companion, Traz, to find the dragon and prove her brother's innocence, all the while trying not to be captured by soldiers herself. AUTUMNQUEST by Terie Garrison is a fast read, but brilliantly so. Garrison's clear voice and direct dialogue take this story from beginning to end at a mind-blowing speed that will leave readers with the desire to read more about Donavah's adventures. Those who enjoyed Christopher Paolini's Eragon (Inheritance, Book 1) and are looking for a shorter book will take pleasure in AUTUMNQUEST's story. Reviewed by: Julie T.
