Cavern of the Fear

Being neglected by Lief and Doom, Jasmine runs away with her enemy Glock, to find the three pieces of the Pirran Pipe, that will save all those prisoners trapped in the Shadowlands.Jasmine and Glock, together, face many dangers that they overcome as quickly as they meet.Being taken prisoner by evil gaming monsters and gnomish dwarven, our heroes are trapped in cages and thrown into the mouth of the cave of the Fear, the Fear being a terrifying and abnormally large octopus that is the master of these dwarf people.I highly reccomend this book to any Deltora fans who want to read a story with new heroes.

I first started reading this series about a year ago. I read the first book in the first series then I read this book. I got complely lost. Then I started reading the books in order and I started to learn more about the characters. You should read the books in order before you read this book. Then you will know what's happening. After Lief, Barda, and Jasmine restore the gems from the Belt of Deltora, the Shadow Lord takes thosands of Deltorans hostage and Lief, Barda, and Jasmine must save them.I liked this book because I like the characters and monsters. You will like this book too if you like books with adventure, action, and puzzles. It is fun to try to figure out what the answer to the puzzle before they tell you.

My best friend introduced me to Deltora Quest a few months ago. Quickly attracted by the book I bought the rest of the Quest series the next day. I now read the books over and over. I heard of the new Deltora Shadowlands trilogy, and went to find out more. A few questions came into my mind. 1.Is this just a cheap copy of the Quest series? 2.Is it going to be as action-packed and wit-burning as Quest? 3.Is the book going to have new or same characters? I wanted to find out. But, not having access to interviews and technology, I bought and read the book. Two words. WOW! I loved the book. It flowed and still had the same characters. It had new beasts and new challenges. And was definitely not a cheap copy. And it WAS action-packed. I mean, sword-flying, fists-swinging action. And yet, there was a sense of plan, and wits. Many side characters were also interesting. Like Glock. Who was a strong warrior and just as stubborn to the end. And Jinks, the plump, stupid man who cares only for himself. And the Goblins. They were very good side characters. Their song still rings through my ears. Above our land the tumult rages Struggle echoes throught the ages There the strife may never cease But here below we dwell in peace Where timeless tides swamp memory Our sunless prison makes us free The gem-glow lights our rocky walls And dragons guard our shining halls. Wonderful. And still the same old loved characters from before. Lief, the new king who is pressured to be safe and silent yet, he is still the reckless adventurer he always was. Barda, the big man who's brain was just as stong as his arms (and my favorite character). Jasmine, the witty, wise-cracking, quick jungle girl. Kree, the loyal raven. And Filli, the small gray fluff always on Jasmine's shoulder. So, I guess I'm saying that the book is wonderful. I loved it and I hope you do too. It had many funny, exciting, and dangerous parts, and I loved it.

The Shadowlands series picks up where the Deltora Quest series left off. The same characters experience more adventure, excitement and danger as they are faced with another quest of good vs. evil. I really enjoyed the first series and am thrilled to see that Emily Rodda continued the captivating storyline.

Deltora may now be free of the Shadowlord, but there are thousands of their people trapped in the Shadowlands. The people left in Deltora are demanding a rescue mission, but King Lief knows that it is a suicide mission. The only hope of success lies in the magic of the Pirran Pipe - but the Pipe is long forgotten and is believed to be myth. Lief and his companions must face many new dangers and challenges if they are to free the lost people from the Shadowlands - but the Shadowlords has plans to stop them from succeeding.....This first book in the new Deltora Shadowlands trilogy was excellent and had to be read in one sitting. Sometimes a second series is a bit boring because it's the same idea in a different place - that doesn't happen with this book! You have Lief and Jasmine from the other Deltora books, but there are other characters to meet too. Like the first series, this series will appeal to boys and girls of all ages - including their parents. If you like magic, adventure, and danger then you will enjoy these books. It is best if you have read the Deltora Quest series first though - it will help explain the first part of this book.
