I'm not one for YA fantasy much as I tend to prefer the more adult genres and topics but Summer's Revenge has made me reevaluate all of that and rekindle the love I once had for YA fantasy. I used to adore it as a teenager and young adult all those years ago and this book has reminded me just how magical and thrilling the genre can be when done right.

The narratives were beautifully done, the characters were so diverse and changeable, I never quite knew where to stand and who to trust. Emma's writing style is so evocative that each new scene, location, character description, setting description, action scene and recounting of Fidalian lore was almost too breathtakingly beautiful.

The plot was so well done and leads to a very thrilling and fast-paced conclusion that grips the reader and leaves them with enough unanswered questions and doubt as to how the story will continue in the next book.

Though there were some parts of the story which I anticipated well in advance, I feel that is only because I am an older reader I can anticipate these things sometimes. For a younger reader this would probably not have been the case and I wish I could have read this for the first time as a teenager. It would have changed my life.

I cannot wait to read the continuation of this series and am incredibly happy and proud to have been one of the first to read this story.
