This is my 1st thread so yeah. Um have Americans or anywhere else ever read Deltora Quest by Emily Rodda, shes Australian. It is my FAVE book series ever. There are three sets of books. Deltora Quest - there are 7 or 8 books. Deltora Quest 2 - there are 3 books. Deltora Quest 3- there are 4 books. DQ3 is my favourite. Its fantasy and theres dragons and stuff, but cool. Id just like to see if any1 has read it and wot they think about it.

I've read the first book. Didn't like it much, it felt a bit tacky. I doubt any Americans have read it, as when I saw it, it had "exclusive to WHSmiths" on the cover.

Well its about Lief,16yrs old, who is the heir to the throne of Deltora. In the 1st series he has to go around and retrieve the seven gems from the belt of Deltora which will make the bad guy go away, the Shadowlord. Because when the belt was dismantled he was able to overthrow every1. Lief goes and meets with Barda, an ex-guard and later in the 1st book Jasmine, a jungle girl who has lost her parents. For each gem they have to go sumwhere different in Deltora to defeat sum1 etc. Each gem is owned by 1 of the 7 tribes, there is a lot explained in the 1st book. Each gem has sumthing special they can do e.g healing qualities. The 2nd series they have to retrieve 3 parts of the Pirran Pipe, a flute thing, I wont tell you too much. And the 3rd series the have to defeat the Four Sisters, these are little things that are buried deep within the ground and a spreading disease and famine across Deltora. Each sister has a guardian and there are dragons in it sumwhere. Thats as good a summary I can do, need info go to this site www.scholastic.com.au/deltoraquest/

I liked these books. Simple but fantastic. Though, they take about 2 hours to read each book

I thought there was very little originality.
