Another phenomenal addition to the series! I was nervous when I saw how long this audiobook was, far longer than any my kids and I had ever read, but it was interesting and engaging and kept our attention throughout.
One of the most impressive aspects of these books is the character development and the complex relationships. The cast of characters is large, but you care about all of them, and your feelings about them will be complicated and change throughout the series. There are no one or two dimensional characters here.
I love watching the characters advance in their skills as their training continues, and how what is expected of them also increases. This is a rare book that is full of kids and adults working together without the kids running away from the adults but also without the adults keeping the kids from doing anything interesting. The kids are not the most powerful characters in the story, but they still matter. It is refreshing to read about people who are important and make a difference without being The Chosen One.
We cannot wait for the next book!
