      Loved it. Good story, satisfying ending. Some new magical approaches to consider. I think it is an improvement over the first book. I liked it very much. I appreciated where Brackston took her characters. It was all well planned, everything was in place to substantiate everything else that happened. The world she built held together well. A good yarn overall.
    • 5/5
      Fantastic story! I can't express enough how much I loved this story! The narrator is lovely she did a great job with all the different characters. I'm looking forward to listening to other books by this author and I hope that the same narrator reads the story. Definitely five stars :)
    • 4/5
      The app won’t let me finish the final 15 minutes of the book. Every time I reach the next to last chapter it plays till about 15 minutes in and then tells me I’ve reached the end of the book which I absolutely haven’t. I’m getting tired of this sort of thing happening, FIX THIS!
    • 5/5
      Definitely did not expect how this book was going to go down. This was way more fun than the first book
    • 5/5
      I simply did not think I would enjoy this series as much as I did. I’m earnestly awash with thankfulness to Marisa Calin for her ability to sweep me away from my daily grind to another world.
      Ms. Brackston and Ms Calin are quite the dynamic duo!
