Customer Reviews

Best of the series!!!!!

You have to read this book! Almost better than Harry Potter. This is a great series and I could not put the books down. I read for at least an hour every night. This is a mind twisting adventure and the best one in the series.

It's a real awsome book

It's really fun to read. The story was very exciting, and I would definitely recommend this book to my friends.

TOOO COOOL!!!!

I loved this book! I just couldn't put it down!UH!I'm a complete Fantasy-Action freak! Lord of the Rings,Sign of the Dove,Unicorn Chronicles, Narnia Chronicles,Midnight Magic,blah! See what I mean? This book had everything I needed and was to good to finish. Please!!!!!! I need to get the third book!!!!!!!!!!

I rated this as five stars only because it doesn't go to ten

This is my favorite book because it has the most action, there are many chase scense in it,and there is also a great ending with an awsome battle. I suggest you buy this one because it has a really weird Chapter where two people named Nij and Doj say everything backwards!If you're a Deltora Quest fan this is the perfect book for you. This was my favorite and I've already read five books goging onto Maze Of The Beast. Number 2 was my favorite, so I buy it and you'll see why it was my favorite.Buy it! I urge you to buy it, and you'll see why Emily Rodda's my favoite author. So just buy it or read it if you already have the book. (I ther was a ten stars raiting, I'd pick it!) This should be every Deltorea Quest fan's favorite book, so I guess you can tell that I'm a Deltora Quest fan!

The quest continues on a journey to the Lake of Tears.

Deltora. A beautiful, magical world covered by the shroud of darkness, its people suffering under the oppressive rule of the evil Shadow Lord. Three strangers come together - Lief, son of the blacksmith who tried once before to save this world and failed, Jasmine, a girl left orphaned and alone, and Barda, a former palace guard determined to restore Deltora's rightful ruler to the throne. These three vastly different people share one quest - to find the seven stones that can save Deltora. To achieve their goal, Lief, Jasmine, and Barda will face every imaginable danger that Deltora holds. But they are determined to succeed. And they will succeed - if only they can survive. The latest leg of their journey takes them to the Lake of Tears, a beautiful place turned ugly and evil by a fiendish sorceress. Now Lief and his companions have one more goal they must accomplish - to free the Lake of Tears. Otherwise, they can never find the second stone required to save Deltora. This exciting, epic new fantasy series continued with this wonderful book. I can't wait to read the third book, which takes Lief, Jasmine, and Barda to the horrifying City of the Rats. Emily Rodda has created a magical, harshly beautiful world as a setting for this series.
