Skandar and the Spirit War

LoveReading4Kids Says

Skandar and the Spirit War starts at a blistering pace with a terrifying attack by murderous unicorns on our hero’s hometown.

Skandar, freed from prison in an equally explosive intervention and reunited with his beloved Scoundrel’s Luck, is soon heading there with his friends and allies to take on his enemies and defend his family and neighbours.

The level of excitement is breathtaking, and continues throughout, ensuring readers will be turning the pages compulsively. The sheer unputdownability of A F Steadman’s writing is just one of the reasons her series has become such a huge success, the others being her skill at worldbuilding and the strength and appeal of her characters.

How significant too that with all the focus on fighting and power struggles, there’s an emphasis on the importance of loyalty and, above all, kindness.

This is the final book in the series, will it live up to readers’ expectations? The answer is yes: they can expect to close the book wrung out but exhilarated, and no doubt ready to start the whole series again.
