I quite enjoyed the prologue, and I&#8217;m still waiting for the boy in it to come back again. Was he one of Ivy&#8217;s ancestors? No signs yet, though! Maybe in the next book. \ud83d\ude42 I also enjoyed Ivy&#8217;s best (human, sorry Rimbrick) friend, Rebecca. I thought she was quite an interesting character. I also thought that Fyn was a cool character. I was slightly disappointed that Rimbrick didn&#8217;t come back, except in the story in the Hollow Shaft. I was also a little sad that Wincome passed on. That said, however, I loved this book!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recommend this to: Fantasy lovers.
