4.0

This was the second in this magical series by Paver. It had the same wonderfully cozy and familiar vibes as the first book, bringing back the well-loved characters I’d missed too. 

I found Spirit Walker a little repetitive at times with Torak’s dangerous moments and elements of tension mostly revolving around the same theme (aka drowning). Also, I found that a lot of the ways Torak gets out of trouble are very unrealistic and pure luck over and over. However, I found the reveals towards the end about Torak and his family so, so interesting and I’m really looking forward to how this plays out going forwards in the series. 

Overall, despite a few snags, I did really enjoy spending time with this book and can’t wait to pick the next one up soon.
