WARNING – SPOILER ALERT FOR BOOKS 1, 2 and 3

Whenever I finish a story or series, I am always disappointed that my adventure is over. This is the same with all good stories, including The Companions Quartet. But with this series, you never feel like your adventure is over; you feel like it has only just begun.

Connie has always been the special one, but now it time for someone else to step into the limelight and it is in the shape of her brother, Simon. The Trustees are interested in him as he seems to be attached to more than one creature - he seems to be a companion to three! Simon doesn't want to be a companion to the chimera so he is mentored by the animals that make it up.

But being a companion to the chimera has more problems than first thought, given Kullervo is trying harder than ever before to capture Connie, and is using the chimera to help him.

While all this is going on, Connie is building up more and more weapons in her mind – the sword, the bow and arrow, the shield. She has discovered the only way to defeat Kullervo and is desperately trying to continue with it without the Trustees, who are strongly against it, discovering her. But the time for her to meet with her enemy strikes way sooner before anyone expects and before anyone is ready. But Connie knows what the Minotaur told her - the enemy will never wait. There is only one way this will end: live or die...

This is unlike any other series because it has got all the ingredients to make the perfect story. Annoyingly, not a lot of people seem to have read them and I don't know why. Do read them! Unlike most fantasy stories, it makes you wonder if it could actually be true, you just don't know about it... I'll leave that thought with you...
