Great children's book and still good for adults

It's a nice innocent child's fantasy book and even though I'm older I thoroughly enjoyed it after I got into it. After some of the more acclaimed fantasy series I found this one more enjoyable some others with a darker tone

I really love this story.

it's one of my favorite stories and I am happy to have listened to it.

The character development

I absolutely loved the character development throughout the story for both Jack and thorgill. You can really tell that the writer put a lot of love into her story.

A rare example of YA literature

Literature, not fast paced one liners and superkid hero. Gerard Doyle turns gold into platinum. If there is something that I would have wished for is more reason to reread to discover any gems hidden in the early chapters, pointers to how the story goes. There are some, but mostly the story just moves forward as the young lad slowly grows. One does, in the series, gain more sympathy for those who pillage and plunder, It's just the way they are raised. And we learn that the greedy christian monks are also stupid - they fool themselves into not believing their eyes, when trolls, elves, dragons and whatnot stand right in front of them..

Good adventure story

Good story but still confused bu the book title. What was the Sea of the Trolls? Maybe Sea and the Trolls would be better.
