Emily Rodda does not disappoint her readers of Rondo with this book #2 "The Wizard of Rondo. I'm amazed with her writing and how she can take; talking pigs, chickens, and ducks; a flying carpet; a person turned into a mushroom and even a cooking kettle with separation anxiety and make it all a f...
A very good sequel even though a lot of it seemed like a wild goose chase, almost literally. I enjoyed the end resolution though, and hope that there is another sequel in store. The villain was very scary, although the realization of who that actually is, was very scary. I loved the idea of a s...
I love all of Emily Rodda's books. She's created this whole new universe that I love to live in for the short while that I'm reading. This book exceeded all of my expectations. It's got action, magic, mystery, etc. I love the characters and how realistic they are. Weird thing about me: I read thi...
This is the first story in a trilogy which begins the adventure of Rye, a young boy who is destined to save his family and the land in which he lives from the evil lords who dominate and force their power on all. Rye has lived his whole life in relative safety behind the huge walls of the city of...
I thought that "The Third Door" by Emily Rodda was a great book.I liked this book because once you started reading it you did't want to stop. I also liked it because unlike in "The Silver Door" or "The Wooden Door" every thing about the story was more clear plus it was't as sad as the other ones....
WOW. This is probably my favorite so far of the series. It has the best puzzles that I could not solve myself. It had THE BIGGEST PLOT TWIST, and then laughed in your face about it. The book gave you the same urgency as any of the rest when it came to solving the problem to get the stone, but in ...

به عنوانِ «رمانِ فانتزیِ کودک» خیلی خوبه؛ ولی «رمانِ فانتزیِ نوجوان» نه؛ اصل‍اً. [«کودک» رو در این عبارت، فردی نهایتاً پنجم دبستان درنظربگیرید.]خیلی «ساده»س کتاب. سرراست و ساده و معمولی. تعلیقِ‌ش برای آدم‌های «نوجوان» [طبق همون تعریف توی کروشه‌ی قبلی] خیلی مسخره به‌نظرخواهداومد؛ ولی یه «کودک» می...
I read this long ago, but I can still remember most of it (Note: If I get one more person complaining about shallow characters or the lack of detail… any more detail and this would be rated R. It’s bad enough already)1.tThis book works on two levels: Symbolic and entertaining.2.tAccurately portra...

Reread 2. 6. 2015Dát jedné mé kamarádce přečíst Deltoru a zvláště tento díl, asi by se mnou už v životě nepromluvila. Není totiž nad velkého děsivého slimáka, který je navíc popsaný brilantně. A právě takový brilantně popsaný slimák by pro chudáka kamarádku, co se těchto tvorů všeobecně panicky b...

Determined to rid their land of the tyrant, Lief, Barda, and Jasmine are on a dangerous quest to find the lost gems, which are hidden in fearsome places throughout the k...
In my opinion, this book makes a great conclusion to the first Deltora Quest series. I revolves around the series three main protagonists, Lief, Barda and Jasmine who have finally retrieved the seven gems of the belt of Deltora and are on their way back home to face a common enemy. This certain b...
Just for a moment he thought he was lying in the shade of the bell tree at home, and a falling leaf had drifted onto his face. Half smiling he put up his hand to brush the leaf off, and felt movement beneath his fingers. He yelled and sat up, slapping at his eye. Wings whi...
If the work had been discovered by any authority, I, its author, would have paid with my life. Or so I believe. The risk was worth taking. Forces are working in Deltora to suppress the facts of our past as well as those of our present. Lies are everywhere. King Alton believes that the kingdom i...
He knew that to turn, to step aside, to show any fear at all, would be fatal. Behind him, Lief and Jasmine glanced at each other. The creature moved like lightning. The remaining blisters, which were in Jasmine’s keeping, were useless while Barda stood between her and the enemy. The only hope was...
“But the seven tribes existed in ancient days — or so I was told,” she said. “Surely they are long gone, now.” “No, they are not,” said Zeean. “Certainly, many in Deltora would not know from which tribe they sprang. The Del tribe, whose gem was the topaz, has spread far an...
She was about his own age, elfin-faced, with black hair, slanting black brows, and green eyes. She was dressed in ragged grey clothes that seemed strangely familiar. She was bending over him, unfastening the ties of his cloak. “Thank heavens you have come!” he whispered. “This will be useful, Fil...
Silence. Pink light through closed eyelids. Lief woke in confusion. Lay still in fear. The last thing he remembered was the boat crashing against something, spinning around, then continuing its mad, swirling dash into darkness. Did I fall asleep? he thought. How could that...
The way had been long and weary, and he was very hungry. Berries growing at the side of the road were the only food the companions had been able to find, and they were few. Travellers who had passed along the highway before them had almost stripped the bushes bare. The longer they had walked, the...
“What is Soldeen?” she asked. But Manus could not, or would not, explain. “Whatever this Soldeen is, we must face it,” growled Barda. “As we must face Thaegan, if she pursues us.” The Ralads drew together at the mention of Thaegan’s name. Their faces were very grave. Plainly, they thought the tra...
