After her mentor Gieral’s abrupt and untimely death, Aeda is set adrift, untethered as she navigates her fledgling and newly independent existence as a lost Historian’s apprentice. Swallowing her grief, Aeda reluctantly accepts her ascendance into the role of a full Historian despite not feeling ready for the responsibilities that come with her new title. Aeda is determined to put a stop to the nefarious and elusive Runespeaker who is killing Historians across the land, but to do so she must learn both the dangerous art of Runespeaking and how to coexist with other people who can support her mission. Neither task is easy, and Aeda must begin to trust herself and her new companions in order to survive.
This continuation of the Runetree Chronicles series picks up shortly after the conclusion of the previous installment, when both readers and Aeda are grieving the loss of Gieral. Supportive friends and allies help Aeda to find her way back to the light, even though it is difficult for her to do so. Excellent writing and good pacing guide readers through the trials that prepare Aeda to encounter the Runespeaker, and it is endearing just how similar Aeda’s personality is to that which Gieral had upon first taking Aeda under her wing.
Throughout this novel, Aeda is forced to step outside of her comfort zone, finding new ways to trust in her own abilities even as seemingly insurmountable obstacles rise before her. Aeda’s party grows in size against her will, incorporating companions who can support her mission despite her preference to progress on her own. The inclusion of additional voices adds depth to the storytelling, especially as each new character enhances the potential of their mission. Open to a sequel, this book is an engaging continuation to the series, and it offers a strong platform from which Aeda can grow and develop. This is a positive addition to library collections for fans of young adult fantasy adventures.
