A very solid follow up to Wingbearer. I loved it as did the 11yr old. 
Stunning art, the colours are so vivid.

I purchased this for my 11yr old and he flew through this one and the next one. 
The art was phenomenal, so I decided I wanted to read it as well and I loved it.

The setting was spectacular, so much lore and amazing creatures.
The art was bright and beautiful and the plot was so interesting and magical. 
I'll be heading in to book 2 tomorrow
