The second in Clare Harlow‘s fantasy trilogy for readers aged 9+ (featuring Kristina Kister‘s evocative illustrations) is a clever and gripping adventure about friendship and family set against the sinister Marsh Queen‘s court. Ista remains interesting and resourceful and although I wish that there had been more between her, Nat and Ruby, the friendship that develops with Tamlin is believable. I am very much looking forward to the final book.
