An exciting and fast-paced sequel to the original Knife or Spell Hunter or whatever you want to call it (these multiple edition, multiple title books are so confusing!), with echoes of the first book in the relationship of "broken young human male meets adventurous young faery female," but happily they are echoes only: Timothy and Linden are very much their own people, not carbon copies of the first book's main pair. Once their adventure gets going, it hurtles towards its (unexpected) conclusion, with the main characters strongly tested and learning a great deal along the way. The content is serious but never so dark that I'd hesitate to give the book to any of the young readers I know. Best of all, there are no easy, pat solutions to the struggles the heroes face, but exploration and honest questioning are encouraged.
