Mia and the Lightcasters is a fast-paced, action-packed adventure which takes readers into a totally different world, one full of danger and excitement. Children who enjoy stories with animal companions set in a game-inspired arena, will love Mia and the Lightcasters. This is a book that I will be proudly displaying in my classroom and recommending to many children who I know will devour it. I loved how protective she was over her little brother and how she was brave despite being really scared.I really felt the sense of threat and tension throughout as I learned more about this terrifying King who is responsible for the perpetual Darkness, and who has willing and loyal followers prepared to carry out his wishes. Mia and the Lightcasters is a thrilling, deliciously scary fantasy adventure: an edge-of-your-seat, exhilarating quest into darkness and light that kept me enthralled throughout.

This is totally random but I just found it hilarious to read a book that reminded me of a game I sometimes play. Das Buch hatte ein gutes Stück Mystery da es bis zur Hälfte noch sehr viele offene Fragen gab, aber ohne das diese einen "abturnen" weiterzulesen. Auch dazwischen ist ständig eine latente Spannung zu spüren – man kann das Buch also kaum aus der Hand legen und gut am Stück durchlesen.I thoroughly enjoyed the book as an adult reader, so I would say that the interest level could easily stretch up to children aged 12. There were definitely points in the early chapters when I felt I was on the receiving end of an infodump. year-old Mia lives with her young brother Lucas and mum and dad in the city of Nubis, under the light of the forever moon and permanently starlit skies. stars because some of the things I'd criticize might be due to me probably having read a few more fantasy novels than your average 10-12 year old.
