Review: In this book there's a lot of running and fighting. Vega Jane learns a bit more about her heritage and the background of the bad guys. (

It started a little slow, but then picked up. I enjoy the characters of Vega Jane and Delph. Looking forward to the next one (

Really a 3.5. This one picks up where the last one ended with Jane Vega, Delph and canine Harry Two in the Quag. Together they face many beasts (too many to understand) and many obstacles. I would have liked the book better, but I found Jane Vega's and Delph's personalities too schizophrenic: brave and loyal when necessary, but always lacking in self-confidence. Also, I found the various charms a bit confusing, but liked their companions, especially the tension about whether they were friend or foe. (

This is a great read. Pick up were it left off in the first book. Slow at first, then it pick up with action pack to the end.
People are saying the laitn phrases for the spells are "from" HP, well don't you think Rowling got then somewhere too.
The one thing I don like about this book is the wands use with the magic. I'm not a fan of that type of magic system. (

It seemed both fitting and even absurdly poetic that, hitched together like links in a chain, the three of us would die together.
