The Warrior Princess of Pennyroyal Academy by M. A. Larson - ESSENTIAL

Larson, M. A. The Warrior Princess of Pennyroyal Academy (#3), 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.
