As good as it predecessors but I was not in the headspace to actually enjoy it. Objectively good, I think I just need to try again later.

This book was fantastic! The best in the series yet! The story was so good and so imaginative. Ms. Steadman has created a world rich in magic and myth. Unicorns aren't fluffy and cuddly. They hatch from eggs are a bloody thirsty. They all have fun personalities too. As always I bought this book for myself so it's definitely suitable for kids and adults alike. The book was so exquisitly written and very descriptive. It still leaves lots for the imagination. The characters again are all wonderful and each are integral to the story. The book is written in third person mostly from Skandar's point of view. Again we have the Interludes from Kenna's perspective. I won't lie this book made me cry more than once! That's emotionally invested you can get in the series. I really recommend this!

I’M FIFTEEN! I’M SUPPOSED TO BE PAST MY UNICORN PHASE!
But these books always leave me with such a deep longing to swim out to an island and fly a bloody unicorn. How do I cure this?

The most emotionally powerful book in the series thus far. The 3rd installation of the Skandar series, shoves Skandar and his friends into their biggest challenge yet; the Chaos Trials. Bonds are forged, and bonds are broken, the interactions in this novel leave readers feeling an array of emotions, I for one succumbed to this, often crying and often laughing, there sure were no let downs in this novel. Upon first glances I could already tell this novel was sure to be fantastic, and I was not let down, it quickly took a hold of my heart and gripped it to the very end. I cannot emphasise enough, the extent to which this novel made me feel. By far, the best novel in the series, which says a lot, as both books before this were already S tier. A.F. Steadman truly outdid herself in this novel and I can't help but applaud it. The acknowledgements at the end of the novel, helped to show me just how much this series means to her, and this series is an embodiment of that. So please, have a read for yourself, I'm certain you will not be disappointed.

Στο τρίτο μέρος της σειράς με τις περιπέτειες του Σκανταρ, ο μικρός ήρωας θα βρεθεί αντιμέτωπος με πολλές δοκιμασίες. Δοκιμασίες, όχι μόνο για την εκπαίδευση του και τον στόχο του να γίνει Ξεπεταρουδι, αλλά και για για την αδερφή του Κενά, όπου κάποια γεγονότα θα ταράξουν, την δυνατή τους σχέση. Άραγε μετά από όλα αυτά ο Σκανταρ θα έχει δεύτερες σκέψεις για το αν η Κένα του λέει την αλήθεια; Θα παραμείνει ο πιο σημαντικός άνθρωπος για εκείνον ή θα χάσει ο ένας τον άλλο για πάντα;

Πραγματικά δεν ήμουν έτοιμη για ότι έγινε στα τελευταία κεφαλαία, η μια ανατροπή μετά την άλλη. Οι ήρωες δεν είναι αυτοί που ήταν στα προηγούμενα βιβλία, απο μικροί και χαριτωμένοι, αρχίζουν να μεγαλώνουν και να δυναμώνουν.

Η συγγραφέας μέσα από την ιστορία, περνάει πολύ ωραία, αλλά και σημαντικά μηνύματα, για τη δύναμη της φιλίας, τη διαφορετικότητα, την αγάπη και την πίστη στον εαυτό μας, αλλά και προς τους άλλους.
Είναι μια σειρα που μπορεί να απευθύνεται σε παιδιά, αλλά θεωρώ ότι εύκολα διαβάζετε και απο ενήλικες.Οποτε προτείνω να το πάρετε για τα παιδιά σας, αλλά να το διαβάσετε κ εσεις!
