Okay, I'm not crazy about the illustrations in this series - they just don't seem to do the story justice, in my opinion. But what a story this one is! Aldwyn, Skylar, and Gilbert set off on another quest that takes them to unfamiliar lands and through all kinds of adventures.
Both Skylar's and Aldwyn's family histories are fleshed out, and there were quite a few unexpected twists and turns. A really entertaining read that ends with a cliffhanger!
One note about the recommended audience. Even though we're dealing with anthropomorphized animals, I think the upper elementary grades would be best, as there are references to death, murder, betrayal, and of course, the Dead Army that the evil Paksahara intends to raise.
