Patten, EJ The Legend Thief (Hunter Chronicles Book #2) 384 pgs. Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2013. $11.96.  Content: Language: G (0 swears);  Mature Content: G;  Violence: PG13.

Sky faces dangers on multiple fronts. First from the ancient creature Bedlam, now free from captivity seeks to make use of Sky’s  dual powers –the Hunter’s Mark and the Eye of Legend Mark.  The second danger is the Hunters of Legend, who come to exile in force, and who think the only way to stop Bedlam is to kill Sky!

A brain blowing second book that about drowned me in information. The addendum alone contains information on 35 monsters. Its my opinion that this author has a ton of creativity and great ideas, but they should not have all been put together into one story; it’s simply overwhelming, especially for younger readers.
