Yessss!” --Kirkus Reviews "...fans will not be disappointed with this exciting, action-packed sequel, whose ending suggests more adventures to come." --Booklist “As in the first book, the questers face adventure, danger, death, loss, and change on their journey, and the surprising conclusion leaves room for another sequel.
