Submitted by harde001@mail.medway.org.uk  (Jan 20, 2004)This is a very exhilarating book full of fantasy, corruption and death. As the author is only 14, I would say that this book is worthy of an award or two.
I enjoyed the book as it contains many creatures which are only known in the magical world: Oracles, Makers, creatures that can talk and also immortals.
The book is based on a prophecy saying that three people would stop the nine planets crashing into each other, causing the apocalypse of our solar system.
The main character of the story must undergo a life of misery as she lives for hundreds of years watching people grow old and die while she waits for her calling.
She is united with people of her past, travelling to faraway lands in order to find the answer to her question:
What am I waiting for?
Overall, this is a very imaginative story. Though it is written by a teenager, it is a very enticing read for the adult years.
