It's a fairly easy book to read, but not overly simplistic as it has some nice descriptive moments and some more challenging bits of vocabulary sprinkled throughout it. The underground world the Low Gloam inhabit is interesting and depicted very well, and I liked the various different creatures that Athene encounters in the search for her brother. Although I was irritated by Athene a little to begin with there's an exciting ending, but nothing too scary for younger readers so this would work well as a bedtime story or as a book for a pre-teen to read by themselves. I found I raced through this easily, and I'd like to go back and try her earlier novels, ''Whispering to Witches'' and ''Dawn Undercover''.

For another exciting adventure story try [[Kira (Shadow of the Dragon) by Kate O'Hearn|Kira]] by Kate O'Hearn.
