The language is exquisite and immediately enveloped me in its magic and warmth, keeping me absolutely mesmerised as I immersed myself in Olia’s stunning adventure. The ending brought the biggest smile of contentment I think I’ve ever experienced on finishing a book – sheer perfection! Will she be strong enough to believe in herself, and reunite with her family? This is a truly incredible action-packed book imbued with a real sense of urgency as Olia races to save both worlds, learning more about magic and her own abilities.

Battling through her fears, Olia finds herself travelling through one of the Castle’s Domes into a world of tangled magic, a world beyond the Castle where she must venture to save her family and her home from a magical storm. Will she be able to find the source of the thread and free both worlds from enchantment, or will deception and trickery thwart her attempts? This is another absolute triumph of a story written by the wonder that is Sophie Anderson!
I also loved the part that the nature-spirits played in the story and, of course, the wonderful domovoi, Feliks who offers her encouragement, friendship and hope. Her Babusya has warned her that a huge storm is approaching the Castle, which may well destroy it.
The references to Slavic folklore permeate and enrich the story, and I especially loved Koshka. The Castle’s protector, a domovoi called Feliks accompanies her. So begins the most incredible adventure into the Land of Forbidden Magic, an adventure that will require all of Olia’s courage, strength and self-belief to overcome the challenges and dangers she will face …The world-building is simply stunning brought wondrously to life by beautiful imagery as Olia finds herself in a world which has been entangled in silver thread.
