Book 2 picks up right where book 1 ended with Alyssa. She has magic and isn’t wanting it. In this book I feel like the author dealt with some heavier topics and did a good job working through them. There are a lot of characters in this book and at times it was hard to keep track, but they all worked well and added to the story nicely. I loved that this book, just like book 1, was full of adventure. The author sure paints a wonderful magical world, and it is great. I think that this book appeals to a little older audience than the first but is still geared towards those in the middle grade realm, maybe about 10-12. This book also focuses on friendship which I think is great.

This series is perfect for middle grade fantasy readers and those that enjoy them. I think that this is a series that needs to be read in order. If you love magic, fantasy, and adventure, you need to check this one out.
