The Last Warlock #2 A sensational magical thriller for YA readers of all ages! After the battle at Baldurshaugur, Bjarni, Hildur, Theodora, and Baldur are separated and the openings between gateways to different worlds threaten the universe itself. Now they each must strengthen their powers, as the enemies they must face are much more powerful than the monsters they’ve seen before.
“West Reykjavik as it appears in this book is a complex fantasy world where everything is mixed up and all kinds of supernatural phenomena appear … The core of the story in Lightbringer, a coming-of-age story of psychic kids in West Reykjavik, is well executed and convincing … it will be exciting to how the four brave heroes fare in the next book, which has been given the name Overlords.” SVANHVIT SIF TH. SIGURDARDOTTIR, BOKMENNTAVEFURINN (on Lightbringer)
Reviews
“This part of the trilogy reminds one at times of the last books of Philip Pullman‘s trilogy on His Dark Materials, especially when it comes to switching between worlds and trains of thoughts. The idea of gods being some kind of super-beings, carrying all possibilities and all weaknesses, is smartly interpreted... Overlords should bring joy to all fans of quality fantasy fiction ...”
