Rating: 5/5 Stars
Reviewer: Aleece

Summary: Kazu Kibuishi’s #1 New York Times bestselling series continues!  Emily, Navin, and their friends continue to battle the Elf King in hopes of destroying him forever, but one of his most loyal followers, Max, isn’t making it easy for them.  The crew journeys to Lucien, a city that’s been ravaged by the war.  Emily has more enemies there than she realizes—and it’ll take everything she’s got to get herself and her friends out of the city alive.

 

Review: We start this volume by seeing Max and Logi heading towards the Elf King with Logi stating that he has an ominous feeling. Then we see Navin and Aly get into trouble by arriving late to class and then to make matters worse Navin is banned from operating any type of vehicle. Finally we see Vigo, Emily and Trellis who meets up briefly with Navin before parting ways again. 

However, after seeing where all of the characters are, it jumps right in to non-stop action and an adrenaline rush that makes the entire volume fly by like it is a movie playing right off the pages until you finally hit the end of the volume and realize it is to be continued again. 

This book is a wonderful masterpiece that kids/adults of all ages will enjoy and want to reread over and over again. The illustrations are marvelous and while this ARC only had some color, the good portion that had it was amazing and I can't wait to see the final product. The story and artwork are simply stunning.
