This is the 4th in the Rhyme series and is a fantasy
adventure aimed at middle grade children.
Grindlerod has taken Asher and Ariana to a time when Elora
and Calla are much the same age as they are. Now that they know what Elora
became, how can they possible trust her? A stranger then enters their lives
with the promise of help. After all they have been through is it wise to trust
him? Meanwhile Teagan is learning what it's like to become a mermaid, but will
she be happy enough to make it permanent?
Again the storylines moved in interesting directions but a
cliff-hanger smacks you in the face at the end. Many timeframes and scenes are
covered in this book, and the jump between them as well as the length of the
chapters made it confusing to read at times. I do like the path that the story
has taken, and the way that Starla alerts her future self to a memory is very
clever. The main themes of family, friendship, loyalty, love and being the hero
are beautifully explored in the series. A very entertaining read, rich with
interesting characters (although I found the pixies VERY annoying) and an
adventure-filled plotline.
Thanks to NetGalley and Blue Moon Publishers for the chance
to review the book.
