I think after over a year it's safe to say i'll never finish this bye
Really great book, quality fantasy for kids with a fast pace and interesting plot.

Building up from the climatic battle at the end of Book One, the Oksa Pollock series continues with The Forest of Lost Souls and it continues in just the same vein as it did previously. Orthon McGraw has, thankfully, vanished, and Zoe, with nowhere else to turn goes to the Pollock family for their help. Back at school again, one day, Gus gets bored waiting for Oksa so sets off down the corridors to find her, but then he hears a mysterious voice and suddenly vanishes, leaving nothing behind….
Oksa and the Runaways can do nothing else to do but go looking for him. It turns out he has been impictured by mistake and the only way to get him back is to enter into the picture too, but they are not the only ones who want it! Unfortunately, this takes them into the Forest of Lost Souls, where even the plants have voices and feelings. It’s not a place to enter into lightly, full of danger, personal demons and horrifying creatures, from which the whole tribe will struggle to return from alive.
The Forest of Lost Souls is another page-turner. Full of magic and mystique, tension and drama, I raced through the book, in order to find out whether The Runaways would find Gus; whether they would all make it back from the forest in one piece; and whether Oksa would fall under the spell of Tugdual, who claims ‘he would do anything in the world for her’! Keeping the drama going right to the very end, Anne Plichota and Cendrine Wolf have created another excellent book for anyone missing the Harry Potter books. I’m looking forward to number three already!

Den her bog udkom i februar. Lad os lige tænke et øjeblik over det.
Godt. Hvorfor har jeg så ikke læst den før nu? Det har jeg ingen forklaring på. Da jeg besluttede mig for at læse den nu, var det fordi, jeg fandt ud af, at bog tre udkommer til oktober. Ååååh jeg glæder mig! Især efter den her slutning.
Bogen fortsætter i samme stil som fra den forrige, med masser af sjove oplevelser, action, rappe replikker osv. De ”personer” bogen indeholder, er simpelthen så godt udtænkt. Tumble-Bawler er virkelig fantastisk, han kan virkelig få en til at trække på smilebåndet. Hold op, han er sjov! :) Og Gus. Åh Gus. Han er så sød, selv med al sin naivitet. Og Oksa, hun er stadig modig, sej, cool. Jeg er en meget, meget glad læser.
Historien er rigtig fin og sød, men jeg nåede et punkt, hvor jeg følte, at nu blev det trukket for langt, men knap havde jeg tænkt tanken til ende, før historien tog en ny drejning. Det er virkelig en fin historie. Det er fantasy for de lidt yngre, måske 12-14 år, men det er simpelthen bare så godt og sødt og ih altså. Jeg kan slet ikke anbefale serien nok, og synes altså godt snart I kunne tage at komme i gang med bøgerne. Det vil I ikke fortryde! :)
