Synopsis: Abigail’s second year at the Tarkana Academy has been an all-out disaster. She’s just unwittingly helped Vertulious, an ancient he-witch and powerful alchemist, destroy Odin’s Stone and restore his powers, and now all of Orkney is caught up in the threat of war as the witches prepare to destroy the helpless Orkadians. Determined to set things right, Abigail and Hugo set off for Jotunheim, the land of the giants, to find a weapon to restore the balance. All they have to do is track down the God of Thunder and convince Thor to turn his hammer over to them.

When their former-friend-now-foe Robert Barconian arrives with a band of dwarves, intent on stopping them, Abigail and friends must unite to prevent a war that will destroy them all. But has Abigail made the biggest mistake of all by trusting in the wrong ally?

Review: This series is such a fun read! I love how the series progresses seamlessly from one book to another for back to back reading and I loved the continuing storylines. The book did well to keep the world building a priority and the character development a must. The plot is still just as interesting as it was in the first book.

The only issue I had was that the pacing was a bit fast paced. That suits me, but might confuse some younger readers.

Verdict: It’s well done and a great Halloween read for younger kids!
