359 pages. Putnam (Penguin), 2017. $17.
Content: G (some danger)
The students of Pennyroyal Academy are supposed to be
heading home for the summer, but a concerted attack by a massive force of
witches turns many of them back to the safety of the magic barrier. Then a trio of giants set-up shop outside the
border, effectively stopping the Academy from ever getting out a plea for help. The barrier will be coming down any day, so
Evie, and her friends plot a way out to make a run for help. Along the way, however, each of her friends
seems to have a slightly different mission, leaving Evie almost completely
alone when she needs them the most.
So many unanswered questions at the end of this – but in a
very good way. Larson still has me
enthralled with the interactions and plot devices. I do hope, however, that this series will
find a natural end soon, so that I can meet new characters and places form
inside the author’s mind.
