A tiny review for the most polished tiny book! The Great Atlantean Battle Royalchemy sees our heroes in top form, all snuggly and cute and badass. The centerpiece mystery is enticing and well-plotted. Reading this novella felt like a sneak peek at the character dynamics for the next book. Rune and Brand are more secure in their parenting roles, and Max finds his footing as their son, which is a nice mini-arc for these mini-books. As the title suggests, we get a few more crumbs of how the magic system works (alchemy = spooky chemistry). If you only have time to read one of these in-between installments, I recommend this one heartily.
