Amazing
The twist with elda was awesome. And the family love is a good aspect of the story

Possibly 12A rated rather than PG
This book was considerably darker in tone than the first of the series.
It contained many more adult themes, notably a sustained theme on class and whether it was acceptable for a Lord to discriminate against peasants or treat them badly due to their birth. This is quite a clever "in" for concepts of bullying, cruelty and just vrs unjust, but (as you can imagine) these are quite big topics. Add to that some battle scenes, hints at starvation, one sideways mention of threatened rape, plus hints of blossoming romance, you have a pretty meaty book.
My boys are aged 6 and 8, and by the end I thought some of the book was a bit too old for them. Mind you, there were no nightmares - they just missed bits as they didn't really understand what they were listening too.
The story continues from the first book, with the children heroes bonding with their spirit animals and gaining more understanding of their powers. They have to learn to work together in order to save the known universe, and negotiate which adults are good and which are bad. As you can see, there is plenty for the younger listener to understand and enjoy.
However, the 12A cinema rating states that "physical and psychological threat is permitted" as opposed to the roller-coster romps of a PG setting. I would say this book is veering towards the 12A in some parts, very much like the second and third Harry Potter books get increasingly scarier and darker. So, if you would let your child read those, then this book would be fine. If you wouldn't (and we haven't yet) stop now.
