"Evil elves, a legendary Silver Dwarf, and tested friendship: this fourth thrilling instalment of the Royal Institute of Magic series sees its intrepid hero face his biggest challenge yet."
The Silver Dwarf, fourth book in Victor Kloss’ Royal Institute of Magic series, is a whopper in terms of scale and content. At 486 pages, it represents quite a commitment for its intended 9+-year-old audience, but happily, in the way of Harry Potter, long-time devotees of the series will be swept up in its waves of fantastical adventure, and the development of its characters and magical realm, with a new quest seeing friendships tested as Ben seeks a magical key linked to the legend of the Silver Dwarf.
Still in the midst of his overarching high-stakes mission to unite elements of Queen Elizabeth I’s armour in order to combat the rise of evil elves, on entering a passageway inside a hill, Ben, Natalie and Charlie make a grim discovery: dead dwarves and dark elves “sprawled everywhere, caked in blood, with weapons cross-crossing their bodies”.
They also spy a living dwarf in a trance-like state, on account of him having entered the protective “void” to shield his body from harm in the physical world. Reeling with questions, the presence of a strange symbol, etched on a wall in blood, provides the trio with the first part of a puzzle that sees them race against time to find the next piece of Elizabeth’s armour.
Fast-paced, with snappy dialogue driving its urgent quest, and underpinning its exploration of friendship and courage, The Silver Dwarf is likely to please fans of Percy Jackson and Harry Potter.
