Deltora Quest: Forest Of Silence Book Review

Deltora Quest: The Forests of Silence. Is a thrilling action packed novel By Emily Rodda. It tells the story of Lief who sets out to restore the 7 missing talismans of the belt of Deltora.

The 7 talismans where hidden in 7 different locations The Forest of Silence. The Lake of Tears. The City of Rats. The Shifting Sands, Dread Mountain. And the last Talisman was hidden in the Valley of the lost. So life goes on an adventure to find the first talisman the topaz in the forest of silence where he and his friends have to defeat he guardian of the forest to get the gem.

In secrecy, with only a hand-drawn map to guide them, Lief and Barda two companions set out on a dangerous quest. Set on finding the lost gems and rid Deltora of the Dark lord, they struggle to achieve their first goal – the untouchable Forests of Silence

The Best parts of the book Is that it fast paced and has a good story line which make the book good. But the bad parts are that how it has 2 different parts and that it can get confusing. But it also takes to long to start.

I rate this book 7/10 because it has a lot of adventure and fun and had a great story line. But what I didn’t like was how it took so long for the climax to start and how that he ending wasn’t as good as it was built up to be. Bu in total it was a good book that I would recommend from ages 8 and up because it has a couple of parts where it may be scary for younger readers.
