Seven Salazar, Valley Pepperhorn, and Thorn La Roux are back in this follow-up to Witchlings (2022).The Golden Frog Games are the Twelve Towns' most significant tournament, and the Witchlings are poised to once again make their mark. As Spares, without a traditional coven of their own, Seven, Valley, and Thorn don't fit the usual definitions of champions and leaders. Further stacking the decks against them, Seven is struggling to come into her newly discovered Uncle powers: She's hearing the voices of monstruos-including the dread Nightbeast-much more often than those of animals. Capping it all, there's a hexer on the loose at the games, threatening the safety of all the witches in the Twelve Towns. Luckily, the Witchlings are on the case. Navigating changes in their friendships, new romances, old bigotries, and some shattering losses, the Spare witches have a lot of growing to do. The story is unequivocally queer, quietly mirroring our world's rich landscape of genders and sexualities. Sharply insightful about the epidemic of hate against minority groups, Ortega invites readers to ponder the true definition of monstrosity as she puts her beloved trio through more challenges in this fast-paced and emotionally charged adventure with future nail-biting installments promised.Cheeky and moving by turns; an adventure for a new generation. (Fantasy. 8-12)
