Alexa is continued her adventure. His now travels with Yipe, odessa, a wolf, murphy, a squrril, Squire, a hawk and there guided John Christopher. Alexa's old jocasta had no more value but recieved a new jocasta. This new jocasta was special because not only could you speak to animals but also was able to hear the voice of Eylon. There quest is to overthrow Grindal. Grindal is controled by Abaddon who is the like the devil. Grindall has orges, infected giants. there second part of theere quest is to free a captive. They are to join with the last giants there are, Armon. Once they join up with Armont they walk arcoss the valley of the thorns. Once they were able to see the land of Castalia. They sneak into the city to retrive meat to give to the wolf so that they were on there side. Along the way John dies because of saving Alexa. She back the bad news. They contiue to plan on what they should do. they decide to kill the orges guarding the outside the walls. then slowly kill the one inside the wall and then they attackthe tower that Grindal is in. Grindal is already prepared. when he leaves by jumping out the window he makes the tower fall down. but they had enough time to get The prisoner and a mysterious prisoner out in time. these prisoners are renny and her husband Warvold. Warvold had drank a pretend poison. he tried to save her wife but failed. In the end everyone is safe Alexa goes back home.

I like this book because of the writer and the image he gives me. I like the way he thinks and writes. His writing is a page turner for me. IU can't wait to read the tenth city, the next book in the series. ( )
