This story is all about power. Connie has a lot of power as a universal. She can talk to any mythical creature, unlike most companions who can only communicate with one, or a certain niche, of creatures. This makes her envied, feared and coveted. She has fought Kullervo and won before, he still wants the control of her powers so he can subdugate humanity and allow mythical creatures the ascendance.

Connie's power is going out of control, or is is, this story is the unravelling of why and how. Connie has to face up to the other members of the Society for the Protection of Mythical Creatures, and their fears as well as her own.

Book 1 was great, book 2 faltered a bit but this made me want to find book 4 and finish the series. I thought it show more was an interesting look at responsibility and standing up for yourself. show less

I would recommend this book to my friends and say that it is exciting and a very well-expressed book. 4Q4P The cover art is awesome and I'd recommend this book to middle school students. I chose to read this book because I like books about myths and legends. LoganW
