When and Where the story takes place: Wales
Plot in a nutshell: When Gwyn's mother gives him 5 objects for his birthday - a brooch, a piece of seaweed, a yellow scarf, a tin whistle and a small broken horse, she tells him that these 5 objects would tell him if he was a magician or not and these 5 objects would give him his heart's desire if he was.
Main characters: Gwyn, Gwyn's parents, Nain, Alun
What I liked best: It captured my attention and kept it before I had time to second think my decision of reading it in the first place.
What I liked least: I think the author has issues beginning a story because everytime I start a book by her, I have to read the first two pages again because I feel like a I missed a chunk. She just rushes right into the story without stopping to realise that we aren't in her brain and can't see what she's thinking.
Overall rating: It's a pretty cool fantasy book.
