I read the first book in this graphic novel series a few weeks ago, then discovered this one (book 2) at our library. I needed to know what happened next, so I checked it out. Now I'll need to try and find book 3, which is the final instalment as this one finished on a bit of a cliffhanger too!

This one picks up from where the first one left off and the hero of the story, Herk, who is a Nnewt finds himself far from home, thinking he has found a safe haven. This turns out not to be so and he finds himself in the middle of a battle to save his new home. He also discovers more about his family and finds some hidden magic he never knew he had. Just when it was getting good and looked like it was heading somewhere, it ended!

It's a quick, but exciting read and is well drawn and written. I'm looking forward to finding and reading the concluding book in this series.
