From beginning to end this book is full of fun filled adventure-fantasy, constantly keeping you on your toes dying to read on, it’s hilariously funny, has wonderful characters which you will fall in love with, this book really hit that spot, it was just thrilling, I absolutely loved it, it still has me thinking about it days after reading it, I just couldn’t get enough of it, I read it in a couple of days, and didn’t even notice the time flying by whilst reading it, and never got board. It’s a fairly easy read, super fun, climactic, informative, I really fell in love with the whole of the bonaventure series, and it really makes you want more and more, I can’t say enough good things about it, honestly it’s a must read!!! ( along with; ‘the promised one’(1st book), and ‘African pursuit’(3rd book)) (this one’s the 2nd book).

An amazing sequel to an amazing book! I also met the author and I remember he was really nice. Also, when I met him in Waterstones, I had no idea who he was but he offered me his books (buy 1 get 1 free) and I was like, dude, obviously and then he signed them and they became one of my fave series.
