Book Review:
Stealing the Light is great! I love me a good fantasy book! It was full of adventure and magic. Both which I love. It felt like a book I would've enjoyed at all ages, especially when I was going through 'I only eat, drink and breathe fantasy' phase. I was amazed to find out that the author's first language isn't English and Stealing the Light is perfect! I mean the story flows!
I loved that I, the reader, experienced Catherine and Lorcan growing up. It was very cool! I feel that the book had it's cliche fantasy book moments, but it definitely didn't effect the story much. Overall I think all fantasy lovers would enjoy this book! I give Stealing the Light four stars!
