The Belt of Deltora has been remade and the King of Deltora restored to the throne but all is not well in the land of Deltora. The people are frightened for their loved ones who are held prisoner in the Shadowlands. Lief wants to rescue them but fears he cannot unless he can find a weapon to defeat the Shadow Lord - or at least buy them enough time to get everyone out.
But he is heartened to find that the Head Librarian, Josef has returned to the palace and has brought with him a treasure thought destroyed - the Deltora Annals - books about the history of Deltora, the legends and myths and adventures that may contain a clue.
One such tale is that of the Pirran Pipe said to be broken apart and scattered over the hidden islands of the Pirran people. Lief, Jasmine and Barda set out to find the truth.
Cavern of Fear commences shortly after the end of Return to Del. Lief, Jasmine and Barda are residing in the palace but much has changed. Barda is the new head Guard. Lief has taken on a secret project with Doom as his only confidant and Jasmine is desperate to escape the walls of the palace and roam freely. But they come together once more when they stumble across the legend of the Pirran Pipe.
There was much to like in this and some not so much. The narrative is as tautly woven as usual of Rodda's works. The action and adventure is full of legends and magic and monsters and the plot pulls you along at a rapid pace.
What I didn't like has to do with the characters themselves. I hate that Lief doesn't talk to Jasmine. Doom gives terrible advice. I mean - it's his daughter for god sakes. He could advise trust. Jasmine would never willingly betray Lief so it's irritating that he won't tell her what his secret plan is or what's going through his mind.
I liked that we get to see more of Glock.
A fun continuation of Deltora Quest and a return of all my favourite characters. 5 stars. ( )
