There I said it. I feel that Flavia Bujor had potential at that age. The world that she created was enjoyable as were several of the characters and concepts. The plot had potential but I feel that Flavia completely massacred it.

Maybe Ms. Bujor felt that she could pull off so many subplots at the same time, but I'm afraid that she wasn't quite able to. Instead, I felt slightly confused at the conclusion. In addition, the characters were not fully thought out. I feel that she just picked three stones, borrowed the names from those stones, imagined what the characters would look like [and from what I gathered from the book, the only adjective that came to her mind was 'beautiful'] and just decided to slap them onto a page.

The characterization was drab and had she fully constructed and thought out her characters in the very beginning, instead of merely making them Mary Sue-like and a fantastic example of common stereotypes, then there could have been room for character development.

I feel that there should have been some sort of catalyst in Opal's life which made her so cold-hearted and generally, closed off. And if there was one, it should have been mentioned. I mean, no one just starts being that way unless they've been under a bad influence, suffered some sort of emotional trauma or just enjoy taking themselves that seriously.

Jade was a sadly drab character and while Amber was tolerable, she was just cliche. All the personalities seemed borrowed and none of the characters had anything that made them, them! No aspect of their personality made them a particularly memorable character.

In addition, I feel that the author used horribly cliche terms. Armies of Darkness? Armies of Light? That's fine. But CHOSEN ONE?! That is so friggin cliche, its not even funny.

I felt that Ms. Bujor had a spectacular plot, but it just seemed that when it came down to actually writing it, it just fell apart.

This book would have turned out wonderfully had she either gotten a better editor or waited a few years for her skills to develop. However, had she waited a few years, she would not have offered the inspiration that she did to hundreds of young, aspiring writers all over the world. [including me]

I applaud Flavia Bujor on a spectacular debut project. I wish her good luck on all future endeavors and can't wait to read her second novel.

This book was great. It is an incredibly awesome fantasy book. It is about three girls named Jade, Opal, and Amber. On their fourteenth birthdays, they are each given a purse with a stone in it and told to meet the other girls under a tree. The girls obey and embark on a journey. They do not know where they are going or what they have to do. There was a prophecy about the girls a long time ago that said they would do good things for others. The girls face many hardships along the way and must choose the best things to do. They have to do many hard things. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy and adventure.

Okay, so most of you guys are complementing her about how she wrote the book, and how it is very exciting and great and stuff. Well, believe it or not, tat is not the only amazing thing abou this book. By the way, those who read this book, did you ever bother to read about the author? Well, if you did, you would understand exactly what I am talking about. This girl wrote this book when she was 13, my age, and over 300 pages too! The most I ever wrote was 50 and then i never finish my stories. She is now 15 nd working on her second book.Even if this book had sucked, which by the way it didnt, it wuld still b great for a 13 year old to have published a book! SO bye guys!

A diffirent type of faery tale. I love how the entire book is the dream of a girl on her death bed. It's a different way of telling a story. The Herions face real challenges that could be symbolic of more or just understood has a great triumph.
I admire Flavia's style and ability for someone so young, great book.

I adore this book. I kept me in full suspense at all time. This is one of the only books i truely felt a part of. I was absorbed into the book and it was very hard for me to get out of it. It the type of book you cant put down. I loved every aspect of it. And i truely believe that if anyone didnt enjoy this book wel they are hard headed and arent open to posibility. Three girls, three stones, three personalities that all fit together to make one.

I read Flavia's book when I was 12 and to think that a girl my age wrote something that spectacular left me dumfounded. I was amazed at the skills she possesed at such a young age and have used her as my hero since then. I am currently 14 and am still shocked at her prowess at writing.
