Review
I feel these stories keep getting better as they get newer. This one is no exception, but proof to that thought. I still am not sure I would give this a top tale. It is an adventure story that is compelling and keeps you reading, but is just good fun with lots of imagination. I like how Nix keeps you guessing if they will succeed, even though you know they must because they are the heroes. It just doesn’t seem a given that the godlet will be banished and you aren’t quite sure how it will end until it does. Very good writing and recommended.
