When Elias introduces his best friend Jaron Finley to his magical world of fairies, castles, wizards, and yōkai shapeshifters, will Jaron ever want to go back to his dull world of school and homework, especially after meeting Elieli, the fairy princess of Estraelia? It's doubtful, but he must—the mortal that he is. Will Elias alter his memory and erase all that his friend has seen, or will Jaron keep the secret that Elias Rey, a sophomore at PVHS, is a wizard, and the youngest heir of Elderberry?

Talk about ending on a cliffhanger! I kept flipping the last page back and forth looking for more. While still being young and reckless teen boys, Elias, Jaron and even Samuel (who we see lots less of this time) grew remarkably. I was sad we didn't see Aydon, Adalee, or the dragon much after those first few chapters. And I want to know how things go with the curse and does Sirius ever get vanquished? I laughed at the scenes, I worried during others, and I cried so hard during the battles, and that plot twist for Jaron totally floored me. I never saw it, Saulen and his fate, or the comment from Jorethen coming until they slammed into the pages. Book one took time to get going and now a day later I'm dying to know when book three releases because I need to know more. -Shannon Triple A
