In this second story from the world of Antyfas, we follow Cristiano's little brother, Tino. He is waiting for his brother to come home from visiting Dusbar College. They are planning a belated birthday party, and Tino is very excited for his favorite dessert, peach pie. Just as the guests are arriving, Tino receives a party invitation from a gnome, and decides that he would rather go to a bigger party with the gnomes. But Tino gets more than he bargained for with the gnomes, and it's up to Cristiano to save his brother!

I liked this short story so much! I enjoyed learning more about the world of Antyfas, and all the different magical creatures that live there. The world-building is so imaginative and fun! There are gnomes, fairies, trolls, and a magical chicken that is part gryphon.

The writing style is so hilarious and charming! I was laughing and chuckling through most of the story!

In the first book of this series, I was a little disappointed in the plot structure. But this book has a great plot with an exciting battle at the end, and I loved how the characters join together to defeat the bad guys. They all have their own strengths and they are quite cunning in using their magic in unique ways.
