Thanks to the @kidlitexchange for the review copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
The second book in the Apprentice Witch series starts quickly after the first ended, with Arianwyn on a well needed rest back at home with her grandmother. While there, she is tasked with trying to find the Book of Glyphs from its hiding place in the Great Wood, which is being overrun with hex. She must find the book, and protect Lull from hex and other magical mishaps.
I enjoyed the second installment - it was nice to see Arianwyn more confident in her skills as a witch and more at home in her new town. The spreading of hex and the consequences for the Great Wood brought a new twist to the series and I can't wait for the next installment to come out!

In the long awaited sequel to The Apprentice Witch, James Nicol transports us back to Lull, to catch up with the now fully qualified Arianwyn as she takes on a dangerous secret mission from the High Elder. It was even better than the first book, and Arianwyn is still a brilliant main character. I especially like that we see her make mistakes in her role and her friendship with Salle, as it shows she isn`t perfect, and is a lovely message. The development and new challenges of Arianwyn and Salle`s aforementioned friendship feel realistic, but I love that they`re also always there for each other when they really need it. Other characters I thought were amazing were the feylings and Arianwyn`s lovely moon hare Bob. The plot was engaging and fun, and some scenes were rather intense, and I really felt this had a darker edge than the Apprentice Witch while maintaining the cosy, charming feeling that made me fall in love with that at the same time. After the shocking turn of events towards the end, I`m desperate to get my hands on book 3, and very, very hopeful it won`t be released with as long a gap as this one way. 4.5/5

Love Lull and (most of) its inhabitants. Another magical tale and now another year to wait for the next visit. *sigh*
