I loved the first book in the BlackMyst trilogy. This second one is just as good. It is definitely one I will add to my shelves. When we left the first book Fritz has in his possession a special dagger. The problem is that it has attached itself to him. The Sorak Queen has sent people out to find and return the dagger. We learn how and why the dagger was created. We learn about some of its powers. Most importantly we learn of the effect it is having on Fritz. With Beynn by his side, Fritz sets off to find a way to control the dagger. You have really got to read this book to find out if he is successful. Like the first book in the series we are left waiting impatiently for the next book in this trilogy. This is an action packed, clean series. I have a long student waiting list for the first book in this series. I definitely need to have the second book on my shelves. This is a must read for all fantasy readers young or older.
I received a copy to help facilitate my review. The opinions expressed here are my own.

This book has great characters and a great setting. The world building is not over done in this book. The main character Beynn Firehand is the twelve-year-old who has set out to save his village. The story is not over the top which is what will draw most of my middle school fantasy readers into the story.
The story is not just one magic spell after another. There is so much to like about this book. For me I believe the fact that I would just get myself to believing something was going to happen a certain way and then the author threw in a twist. I happen to love stories that have more twists than a rollercoaster.
It is this unpredictability that keeps me reading. Beynn develops his powers slowly so it isn’t like the author decided, hey I think I give him powers and just let the character loose with them. I loved his best friend Fritz. It was obvious that he didn’t understand what was happening to his friend Beynn. He also demonstrated what a true friend was. I loved the ending. If you want to know what I am talking about then you most definitely need to read this book.
