We return to Fionn’s magical world where a banished enemy looms as he faces challenges both at home and at school.
Diving straight back into the dual world of London and the magical world of Arborea, readers reunite with Fionn, Lionborn and steadily learn to navigate his powers alongside friends Ella and Tiny. This sequel is perfect for readers who enjoy magic academy books, with spell classes, fighting training and tense examinations that are much more dangerous than human tests. With unpredictable magic and his friends at risk, Fionn must come top of his class to be on the magical investigations team, tracking down the mysterious threat before it finds him first.
This book is perfect for readers who like magical adventures like Skandar, though I’d recommend starting with book one to be properly introduced to all the characters. The parallel of human life with his family offers moments of grounding and challenges all its own even as magic seeps into the hurley household. Bold friendships form and readers will enjoy getting to know the wider cast of characters, with plenty of room for all the characters to develop further in future books. There’s secrets to come to light, pasts to uncover and plenty of action to appeal to fantasy adventure readers as the series continues.
