This volume deals with Hannah's return to Mage University and many encounters on the war including Smidgen bounty-hunters, Hell Shades, her step-father Gerard and lots of fighting, drinking and magical goings-on. The second half is much more serious and sees some unusual events and turning-around. There is also an extra Braga story about her father's life.
Fun and entertaining at first then more serious, this volume is well worth reading.
