Funtastic indeed! This has been a crazy wild ride! What with Lila Bard's pirate/privateer experience and her natural tendency to look for trouble before it finds her, then there's this charming enigma that is the Captain, the ever wayward but somehow changed Prince Rhy and the frowning powerful magician Kell who's torn between staying loyal to his kingdom, his brother--the prince, and wanting to run away and to just succumb to freedom. Add to that intricacy the buzzing Element Games, which triggered practically everyone (by everyone I mean the main characters per se) teeter to madness and then just as we thought everyone's safe after book one, well cheer not, for bigger badder scarier enemy's on its way about to inflict a carnage of darkness on a certain thriving London, or worst case scenario, possibly on all the alternate worlds (which I hope's never gonna happen). I want the next book please!
