"This is the sequel to Farmer's Sea of Trolls, a fantastic fantasy. Jack, the Bard-in-training, begins a new adventure when his little sister Lucy is discovered as a changling. Jack goes on a journey to seek out both of his missing "sisters," and travels into the Land of the Silver Apples. He meets elves, hobgoblins, knuckers, dark and dangerous creatures, and friendly new friends in a land where nothing is quite what we would predict. As in her last book, Farmer creates a world of change, where pagan and Christian religions are mixing together in a bubbling cauldron, where magic and miracles are one and the same. This is a shorter review, but I loved this adventure just as much as the first story. I'm counting down the days until I can read the third story, which just came out this month. Read it and be transported."
"It was fun to see the old characters again, and while it was good, it wasn't as great as its predecessor. Jack and Thorgil had greater journeys as characters in The Sea of Trolls and the revelation of Lucy's origins made her growth in the previous novel a moot point. Also, the ending came rather abruptly without much of a chance to see how characters had grown.
That said, I still enjoyed it and will probably read The Islands of the Blessed when it comes out."
"Sequel to the Sea of Trolls. Jack embarks on a quest to the land of elves (Land of Silver Apples) in an attempt to "rescue"his sister Lucy only to find she is an Elf and his real sister was brought up as a hob- goblin and has no wish to leave her foster parents. Elves are depicted as rather sinister creatures and hobgoblins small earthy underground mushroom eating camoflaged beings that are ok to deal with. Color- ful characters, unusual powerful odd beings like the kelpies and the yarthkins make this an entertaining read."
"Jack and his sister Lucy were reunited with their family at the end of The Sea of Trolls (the first book in this series by Nancy Farmer). Lucy is now more spoiled and self-centered than ever and Father finally reveals that she is not truly his daughter - his baby was stolen just weeks after her birth. Thinking Lucy is possessed by demons, they take her to a monastery for an exorcism and find themselves in the midst of corruption. The monks are lazy and self-indulgent, and the King of the region is a cruel Kelpie. When Jack tries to protect Lucy with his growing power, he causes an earthquake, a drought, and Lucy is abducted to Elf Land. Jack and Pega (the slave he freed) and their companions must go on a quest to restore the water, find Lucy, and rescue Jack's real sister (wherever she may be). They find themselves in the Land of the Silver Apples - where time doesn't flow - and find Thorgil, the shield-maiden, and a troop of Hobgoblins who help them with their quest.
I was really frustrated with Jack's family - particularly Father, who indulges Lucy's every whim, and, as a result constantly makes poor choices. Mother can do (or does do) little to influence her husband, or protect Jack from the backlash of his decisions. I like my characters to be capable and reliable - or at least to be honest in their fumblings and failings - and Father was in denial, hurting the ones he was supposed to shelter and love, and never apologizing for it. Although Jack and his companions complete their quest, their success is mixed - they find Lucy and Jack's true sister, but leave them in their respective homes, for Lucy is all elf and Jack's sister believes herself to be a hobgoblin (to bring them back to Father and Mother would be cruel). They defeat the Kelpie King, however, and are able to bring water (and life) back to his domain. And, although they've done everything they could, it seems like this will not ultimately be enough to satisfy Father. The story concludes in The Islands of the Blessed."
