"This is the sequel to 'The Weirdstone of Brisingamen' and follows Colin and Susan as they try to continue life as normal, while knowing that the world of magic is hidden from them. But The Morrigan has returned and she has a personal grudge against the siblings, and she has released something much worse to help her. The wizard, the elves and the dwarves band togther to help, but it is Susan and her bracelet, the legacy of the old magic, that will have to face them all. This got a bit muddled in places and the ending was rather sudden, but it was a good read nonetheless. A good sequel, but no where near as good as the first one." — Dark-Draco (4 out of 5 stars)

" Wish the Weirdstone series was never-ending .... "
" not a patch on wierdstone, but still a great read. "
" Another book I read years ago and remember enjoying, though it made little impression on me. More good vs. evil Susan possessed, driven to "other realms" ending in a pitched battle. As I said, an enjoyable youth book. "
" Main characters became more active. Another advantage of this book is Old Magic. It is neither good nor bad. It is above this concepts. Intriguing. "
" Another favourite - I like the battle between the forces of good & evil "
" Retread this before reading the new "Boneland". Not as good in my opinion as "The weirdstone of Brisingamen" but still a good tale. I'm not sure it's aged terribly well, I found the children's relaxed attitude to darkness and danger a bit annoying! "
" Nostalgia rating! Havn't read this since I was a sprog. Loved it at the time, though. "
" See my review of The Weirdstone of Brisingamen "
" Garner's reworking of folklore and myth is as compelling as ever, and the sense of place you get from his novels is just stunning. A thrilling book on many levels, and a fantasy classic. "
" I think this gets better as I get older. "
" This is one of his better books. It's clearly written and interesting at least. He seems to be more plot-oriented than character-oriented, and so most of the characters are rather one-dimensional and plain. "
" Garner's books are not high adventure but they are very charming and are certainly enjoyable reads. "
" another great book from Alan Garner, a treasured read. "
" Another little known classic in the vein of C.S. Lewis. "
" Follows on from Weirdstone of Brisingamen, old myths set around mysterious Alderley Edge in Cheshire. We have old magic, the hideous Morrigan and of course the battle of good and Evil. Exciting read. "
" Again like its predecessor something I seemed to read quite quickly and again like its predecessor a slightly forced ending was its only bad point. The only thing that still flummoxes is “To a Woman yt was Dumpe” anyone any idea on what that was about....? "
