**received as a finished copy from LibraryThing’s Early Reviewers program

The first book in this trilogy was filled with fun highjinx, a neat magic system, and a pretty quality cast of characters, so when I had the opportunity to request an early copy of the second book I figured why not continue the story. It’s been a while since I read the first one, so it took me a while to get back into the story and the author’s narrative style, but I’m glad I stuck it out. Cal is a fun protagonist, and being back amongst his motley crew of thieves as they continued their shenanigans was an easy sell with the story’s action-packed narrative. They might have escaped their botched heist with an accidental treasure (the Dragon’s Eye, which has attached itself to Cal), but things are still complicated as they must find a way to heal and then bring back to life then heal again one of their crew, Lachlan. For all that Cal and co. were a bunch of lone wolves in the first book, this story makes clear how they’ve become a little family and would do anything to save eachother. The plot thickens further as they begin a search for more magical objects related to the Eye and it primeval magic, which takes them to the depths of a massive lake and to the heart of the Weaver’s enclave - a quest that also serves to begin unraveling and revealing more about the Spirits who rule their belief system and the magic that pervades their world. The book is definitely a bit young for me to be as obsessed with as I was with similarly styled stories at the same age, and it doesn’t hit with quite the same panache, but I’m intrigued enough that I do want to see how things play out for Cal and company in the third book!

I just finished this. I already read book 1. I think this book should be listed for not just young readers. I am an old reader (lol) and I love these books! Kevin Sands is an excellent writer and very good at describing things. You can easily envision the places and people, and everything else.
I really enjoyed the part of the story where they are under the lake to look
for the Dragon's Teeth.
If you haven't read this series, I suggest you do.

Now onto Book 3 - Champions of the Fox. ( )

Love this book! There is magic and lots of action, a perfect read for tweens or younger children if read to them. The book is fast paced and the characters relatable. The book ends and leaves you ready for the next installation. ( )

Cursed with the Dragon's Eye that has replaced his own eye, Cal and his troop of young thieves must steal the Dragon's Teeth (enchanted swords) from the Weavers' Enclave in order to remove a primeval spirit that is threatening to take over Lachlan's soul. This is a real page turner of an adventure, especially for lovers of fantasy and magic. The characters pop off the pages and into your imagination. Great plot and cliffhanger ending. Can't wait to go along on their next quest. ( )
