'After reading this book, I wanted to find out loads more about Ancient Greece! The book was inspiring and it really captured you into the story line! I felt sorry for Halosydne when she was in trouble, and happy when she was, and sad when Leonidas had plague! I was astonished at how touching the book was, and how much I enjoyed reading it! Halo is such a strong character, it''s hard to put the book down. I really enjoyed how it all fit together like a perfect puzzle. Every different Halo was in, I felt I could relate to exactly how she felt! I''ve started reading the Lionboy trilogy, and I''m enjoying that so far. I''m becoming a big fan of Zizou Corder! :D'
