To me, McKenna's books share that particular English countryside eeriness that you see in the work of Susan Cooper and Alan Garner. At the same time, they're full of fun and adventure. I can't wait to see where she'll take us in Seawitch.

Synopsis

Book 2 of 2: Hedgewitch

Step into the magical world of Hedgewitch, where the land of Faerie lies just beyond our own... The enchanting new series continues.

Cassie has settled into life in Hedgely when, out of the blue, her troubled cousin, Sebastian, comes to stay for Hallowe'en. Sneering and scornful, Sebastian trails after Cassie and her friends, interfering with their coven projects and belittling the dangers of the faery world.

But Cassie, Rue and Tabitha have bigger problems – as the nights grow longer, a dark shadow creeps out of the Hedge and villagers start behaving strangely, possessed with the desire to find a mysterious object.

When the Hedgewitch is called away, the girls decide to investigate and discover that whoever is controlling the villagers is seeking a faery relic: an ancient and dangerous weapon, hidden somewhere in the village. Their magical training will be put to the test as they venture deeper into the Hedge and race to find the faery treasure before it falls into the hands of the Erl King.

Reviews

This is book two in Skye McKenna's wonderful series, and, having loved the first, I was anxious to read this as soon as possible. The story continues at the same frenetic pace as before with scene setting and jeopardy at every turn, all of which move the reader towards a very satisfying final chapter or two. It is worth noting there are major spoilers at the beginning of this, which give away most of what happened previously... I loved this. It is a great continuation of a very special series and easy to recommend highly. The books do need to be read in order, however.
