Red Sister was a beautifully written novel.It's full of action and magic; a gripping story of a young girl with nothing, but with everything to lose. Mark Lawrence weaves epic fantasy and intrigue in a way that leaves you wanting more.
If you're a fan of J.R. Tolkien or Kristin Cashore then you will LOVE this book and I would definitely reccommend you pick up a copy ASAP! - Hannah (QBD)
