Entretenido con personajes curiosos pero poco desarrollo del mundo, siento que no conocemos mas que la escuela y la selva donde se va aventurar. En fin la historia atrapa y te mantiene al pendiente.

This was really good! The characters and their journey are a ton of fun to read about, through the good and bad, and I really enjoyed it! I would have continued onto the third book right away if it wasn't super late already. 5 stars!

Taran Matharu's second installment in the Summoner series blew me away. After reading The Novice, I was eager to pick this up, but I was definitely not prepared to enjoy this book as much as I did. Fletcher's journey in this book is non-stop, and he is constantly migrating from one location to another, getting things done more productively than Elon Musk after two cups of coffee. It was an impressive jump from The Novice in terms of pacing and depth. Each character is padded down with more layers and depth than the last book, and each villain has their own new little quirk. Fletcher's relationship with his friends and demons really goes to show just how far this group of summoners has come. It was a thrilling read, and encouraged me to purchase the sequel almost immediately. If you enjoyed the first book, I cannot stress enough how urgent it is for you to finish this one. Props to Taran Matharu for creating such a unique and inspired world that I have the favor of losing myself into for hours at a time.

With loyal friends Othello and Sylva by his side, Fletcher must battle his way to the heart of Orcdom and save Hominum from destruction…or die trying.
The Inquisition was a good follow up to The Novice. The book starts out a year after the last one left off with a trial soon following. Once we get through the trial and all that, Fletcher and his friends are sent on a mission deep into orc territory along with others who are not so friendly. They are divided up into four different teams. The teams get divided up pretty predictably, with each given a guide to lead them through the jungle. During the quest, to make things even more dangerous, there is a someone who keeps trying to kill Fletcher, obviously trying to frame the Dwarfs. There are a few revelations in this book that are not all that surprising. I predicted most of them, but maybe younger readers will not.
This as a simplified fantasy, that's definitely written for YA readers, but still quite enjoyable. The characters are pretty black and white and plot-wise, the story follows a traditional route with nothing really new added. I did like the addition of the gremlins. The idea of the goblins coming from a cross between gremlins and orcs was new to me. I loved poor Blue and wish we could have seen even more of him and his group. Once again my favorite aspect of the book are the demon pets that the mages have. Who doesn't love a Gryphon or an Alicorn or one of the many others?
Just like the last book, this one ends with a cliffhanger-like ending. I'm looking forward to finding out what happens next. Review also posted at Writings of a Reader
