Liked this better than the previous book, definitely more action and forward plot movement. I keep forgetting it's a kids book when I read through how warm and fuzzy everything turns out. Battle scenes were weirdly descriptive yet somehow lacking in stakes.

Love the whole series but I found this part quite boring as it was all about the battle
