I was so excited about this book coming out as I loved the first one. It didn't disappoint! You really need to read the first book, King Hall, first to understand what is happening in this book.We are thrown straight into the action as soon as the book starts as the 4 prodigies fight to survive the attack by the Coms. All 4 need to combine their talents in order to save not only themselves but other Mysticals.Just in case you haven't yet read Book 1 - Lily is the Shifter Prodigy, Ezra the Vampire Prodigy, Pearl the Mage Prodigy and Jack the Elemental Prodigy.Under the directions of their Kings, and Elders, they fight their way out and start a journey which leads them, eventually, to King Cave.Once they arrive in King Cave they begin to rediscover themselves, and each other. The close relationships that they share makes for some interesting reading. The depth of these friendships also leads to quite a heartbreaking time for 2 of the characters. We also find out a lot more about the various Kings and Elders during their stay in King Cave. Some you will like more than others!One slight niggle I have is that the time they spend within King Cave seems to drag a little for me. After the initial battle scenes it slows down too much for me.It got exciting again when the prodigies are sent out into the world, in different directions, to find the next prodigies in the line. The action just seems to keep building from that moment on until a shocking event again changes the course of their lives forever.The ending? Oh my goodness, the ending! I can't believe the author would do it, and I honestly didn't see it coming at all, which made it even better!I cannot wait to find out what happens next and I almost wish I could forget I have read the book and go back to the beginning again.
