Reviews

We join Arianwyn one final time as James Nicol expertly brings our time in Lull to a close. The war may be over but a witch's duties are never done it seems, even when your closest friends are enjoying themselves with all sorts of Yule traditions. Winter is setting in, dark creatures are appearing and there is still the mystery of the Hex and the silent glyphs to solve. This is a wonderful story about friendship, magic and having the belief in your own ability. A fitting end to this magical series! 352 pages / Ages 8+ / Reviewed by Andrew Mullen, teacher
