The Evil Wizard Malvel has banished four young adventurers to the mysterious Netherworld! Now the most dangerous Quest yet begins. Can anyone defeat Ossiron, a monstrous skeleton jackal?
Free the beasts
Live the adventure
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The first book in the 28th series of the BEAST QUEST illustrated adventure fantasy books by Adam Blade (a pseudonym for a collection of writers) for readers aged 7+ is hampered by a lot of set-up, which is quite heavy handed to the point that the new potential Beast masters get lost as a result. The action scenes are solidly done and it hits the beats you expect but you probably get more from this if you’ve read the preceding books.
