This was one of my favourite series I read back in high school. This one in particular, the last book in the series, I remember was my absolute favourite and I re-read it a few times. Branwen goes from being very confident to unsure of her faith in the Shining Ones on her expedition (her character development improved with each book), Iwan's relationship with her comes along rather nicely. And not to mention a very unexpected plot twist, that frankly I would have seen coming now I am older but back then I really gasped! The descriptions were good too. I had hoped there were going to be more books as the end was somewhat open, but alas! It would appear not. ( )
