4.5 This was a slight bit of a repeat of the previous instalment [b:The Farseekers|47906|The Farseekers (The Obernewtyn Chronicles, #2)|Isobelle Carmody|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1312026259s/47906.jpg|3282469].

I'm so glad I decided to do this reread of the series instead of just jumping into [b:The Sending|6000352|The Sending (The Obernewtyn Chronicles, #6)|Isobelle Carmody|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1358564866s/6000352.jpg|6175207].
