The Sunlit Lands are unraveling. A year has passed since the events of The Heartwood Crown (2019), and readers find the surviving characters scattered and still looking for answers. Madeline's sacrifice broke all magic and bonds, the aftereffects of which the Elenil, Scim, and humans work to reconcile. Some attempt to rebuild, some fight for a new way, while others look for scapegoats. Jason Wu, Darius Walker, Shula Bishara, and Gilenyia will uncover the mysteries behind the creation of the Sunlit Lands and the terrible secret of the Elenil in order to overcome the pain of their personal tragedies. The setting of the story is heavily influenced by recent events and social debates: It weaves in themes and discussion around false truths and those who believe them without seeking further, the systemic nature of White privilege, extremism (the Vain Boys are a group akin to the Proud Boys), and the dangers of being Black in contemporary America--and even touches upon the problem of Asian Americans being treated like a monolith. Christian references are similarly a part of the fabric of the story. Though at times heavy-handed in expressing political views, the novel highlights many important historical and current issues within a fantasy-world context. This trilogy closer will best be appreciated by readers familiar with the earlier volumes. A satisfying conclusion to a rich world of story.

Grades 8-11 The magic of the Sunlit Lands has changed completely after the events of The Heartwood Crown (2019). Human adventurers Jason and Darius try to find their way into and out of the secret desert world while Madeline's mother survives on the memories of her daughter. When Jason is (again) kidnapped by a group of strange yet familiar bad guys, he tries following the advice that Mother Crow taught him through the story trades, and finds more than he ever expected. Will he find the Story King in time to save the Sunlit Lands (again)? Everyone touched by the Sunlit Lands has a story--many have more than one--and, together, those stories make a mostly coherent whole, though the alternating narrators can make it overcomplicated at times. This third series entry starts with some unexpected action and thrilling heroics and will draw readers back in immediately. Buy to complete the trilogy and be sure to have the other titles available.COPYRIGHT(2021) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
