Excitement plus is the fashion in this book! Following the trails and tribulations of two very talented 13-year-old twins, this new offering from local author Ben Chandler is high fantasy with a dash of what feels like steam punk and good healthy dose of traditional Japanese ideals … A stirring read with high adventure and lots of fun for everyone!

I recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy, adventure and drama.

Ben Chandler has singlehandedly rewritten how I think of steampunk. With the use of small mammals in place of coal, a mixture of East meets West for fashions, and an almost Middle Eastern flavour to the demons, you'll be swept up in just how unique Ben's world building is … If you decide to join me on this adventure, hold on tightly. With Lenis and his Bestia, Aeris, powering the ship we're in for a hair raising ride. All Aboard!

A steampunk story involving quests and high adventure, this story will please the many fantasy fans in middle years … An absorbing, entrancing read.

Looking for something exciting and complex for your teen to read? Something you might also enjoy yourself? Quillblade is just the thing ... Imaginatively inspired by Anime, Japanese culture, and world myth and history, the story tumbles head-long into a mysterious and thrilling plot set in a world that is obviously wide and deep, full of endless possibilities for more story ... Full of great ideas that are familiar but never cliche, Quillblade is a top read.
