This got very real, very quickly. The most mature one yet in all of the PJ universe books. I appreciated the many sincere life-lessony bits, as well as the signature humour that still shone through every now and then.
The Arrow of Dodona
felt a little like a deus ex machina in the sense of it giving the crucial advise on an otherwise seemingly hopeless situation, like simply googling the solution.
Other than that I enjoyed getting more
nature spirits into the mix, being almost at the forefront or at least an important thread throughout the story.
I was happy about more
of our known and beloved characters coming back as well, even though not all of them get to stay..
