Following on from Episode 1, Raf, Ko and the troll Raf rescued, Dum arrived at the entrance to Troll Mountain – the only seemingly unguarded way forward. But this dark and unfriendly tunnel used to be the home of the dreaded hobgoblins, so caution was a necessity. As the three unlikely friends made their way forward, through thick cobwebs and terrible smells, they suddenly came across a massive pit – it was the complete width of the tunnel and too wide to leap across. What they saw down in the depths of the pit made them shudder as they worked out a way past and enabled them to continue toward the Mountain.As they slowly moved through the tunnel, Raf suddenly realized he could see a massive door in the distance – but what was guarding it? With a suddenness too fast to avoid, they were surrounded – but what were they surrounded by? Was this the end of their journey? Would Raf ever find the elixir to save his sister and the rest of his village?Wow this very short episode has a great kick! It didn’t take long to read, but when I finished I realized I should have waited for Episode 3 so I could read them both together. It’s also difficult to review without revealing spoilers from Episode 1 – but in a nutshell, I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to read the third and last episode in this latest genre change from Aussie author Matthew Reilly. I have no hesitation in recommending this highly, but you must read Episode 1 first…
