I feel these books in The Leira Chronicles are giving me a bit of a split personality. On one hand I have quite a bit of fun reading them. On the other hand I cringe at the silly stuff, which is plentiful, when Leira, Yumfuck and the rest goes on their numerous shopping and eating sprees. If it would have just been Yumfuck going for every piece of junk food around it would not have been too bad but Correk?
Well, I guess I am getting used to it though since it seems it is getting easier and easier for me to overlook the silliness and focus on the fun bits.
The book is the logical progression of the previous one and thus most of what I said about that one in my previous review can be said about this one as well. Likable characters, fun bantering between them, Leira continues to develop etc…
In this book we get to the (final?) showdown between Leira & Co and Rhazdon. I have to say that I thought it would take a few more books before we got to a direct confrontation between the two. I makes me wonder where the story will go in the next couple of books.
Personally I felt it was maybe a bit too early and a wee bit anticlimactic. I felt there was room for Leira to continue her magical development a bit more first. She is still coming to grips with her magical powers, stumbling her way trough events and not (yet) really the bad ass magician you would expect to take on the Voldemort of the Oriceran universe.
Anyway, it was another fun read in the series. I have my personal gripes about some parts of the book(s) but it is definitely a read worthy book and if you do not mind the silly parts it is a very good book indeed.

YTT STOLE THE SHOW!!!
He had a bigger part in this book which meant tons more comedy, this is the start of where multiple storylines begin throughout the series. I really enjoyed YTT's little road trips and hope they continue.
Leira and Correk were amazing, it's always great to read about Estelle and the regulars and Hagan.
