This was just as good as the first one! Although I missed my girl Naia, I loved seeing the journey through Kylan's eyes and see him grow as a person and I'm just!!! so proud of him!! I loved the new characters that were introduced (especially Maudra Argot, she's a delight), seeing characters from the first book again, the lore and references to other Dark Crystal media sprinkled here and there and I can't wait to see where the story goes next!

The story is getting darker and I love that. I don't think I'm going to read the third one straight away but I would like to continue. Things are getting serious! In this book we get to know Kylan more and it was amazing. He's so sweet! And I love that his role in the group is to be the song-teller... to make songs, tell stories... and things that sometimes, in adventures, are diminished. But he's a song-teller, he's good at it, he loves doing what he does and even though he sometimes feels insecure, he has his important part in the story.
Also, I love Naia and Kylan's friendship. They care a lot for each other and they make a very good team. The other gelfings are cute too (except from Rian to be honest) and the new skekis, SkekLi was really, really disturbing.

I'm the first one to write a review for this book and I hope I won't be the last.

I absolutely *love* this series! I love how it has taken every little bit of Dark Crystal lore and expanded upon it and now, when re-watching the film, I see it with new eyes.

So many things happened in this book that I don't want to spoil but a lot of key movie elements outside of locations start popping up -- and the the prophecy is mentioned! There are also these things mentioned that are downright awful and they make me dislike spiders even more!

Also, I SWEAR I CAUGHT A LABYRINTH REFERENCE!

The Jim Henson company have picked a great addition to their company in the writing of J.M. Lee. After seeing him do so well with this series I really wish that he would tackle Labyrinth, too. *crosses fingers*

Anyway, the book ends on an uplifting note and I can't wait for book three!

Loved reading soft boy Kylan’s point of view and seeing the plot continue to unfold. Enjoyed this equally as much as the last, they’re such comfort reads.
