Oh my gosh this book was so good! I canNOT wait until I get Beast of Stone! I NEED to know what happens next!
I liken the more indepth look into the chancellor's plans with her altered animal army and the horrifying results Raffa sees first hand. I liken also Raffa's bravery despite in my opinion a hint of fear-nervous yet he is willing to push due to his deep down courage and hope.
Just as captivating as the first installment of Wing & Claw; my daughter and I love the apothecary details, the action and adventure, and of course the character of Echo the Bat. We plan to start the final book as soon as possible! Highly recommended for fans of fantasy and adventure.
I just couldn´t get into it. It was boring. Not much happened. The first time I found it beautiful, magical but this second time I don´t know, I just couldn´t enjoy it as the first one, not sure why. Hopefully, the last book gets its charm back for me.

These kids spend a questionable amount of time away from their families 😅 deaf rep felt iffy to me, and raffa was incredibly frustrating in this one, but it's still a fun series.

It's been a while, so I don't recall my exact reasons. I think I believed that, after a pretty significant investment into the book, the plot just wouldn't pick up and get to the "good part". It must have been too slow.
This second book in the Wing & Claw series finds Raffa, Kuma, and Garith at the end of a hard winter. Now that spring has come, and Roo has woken up from hibernation, the three decide to return to civilization to find out what has been going on. Unfortunately, they are still wanted by the Chancellor for the events in the first book. It is clear as well that she is continuing on with her evil and secret plot. Will they be able to stop her with even more obstacles in their way? Recommended for grades 4 & up. You really need to read this series in order.
Very enjoyable continuation of book one. Definitely ended on a cliff hanger.
I'm fond of, and impressed by the complexity in this series. It's got talking animals which I know kids will love. I like the focus on herbal apothecary and the idea that plants can have almost magical properties. Raffa and his friends decide to return home from where they have been hiding all winter. For Raffa, this is a very dangerous endeavour. It's a good thing he has lots of friends and animals to help him. I'm not crazy about cliffhanger endings like the one here, but I know it will make readers want to come back for more.
