This was a great sequel to Wild Magic and i once again found myself wishing i had had them when i was a young girl.
Daine is older now and her magic is a lot more instinctive so there is less explanation of the magic system than in the first book.
The characters again are wonderful and it was a joy to read about their adventures and the development of their friends ship. I tend to have a soft spot for books about young friends learning magic together and this book did not disappoint.

The second book in the Immortals Quartet has a less introspective feel than the first, as Daine has learned enough about her powers to start to act more instinctively. It's a wonderful, charming tale of friendship and magic, with the kind of utterly compelling characters that only Pierce can create. I fell in love with these books nearly 20 years ago, and I'm thrilled to see them being reissued so new readers can find them. I hope many, many 8 year old girls fall in love with them as hard as I did.
