Somehow the “Julia Vanishes” had slipped completely off my radar, all the more surprising for it having a few rare qualities that stand out in a sea of fantasy fiction that can be all too filled with tropes. Review: I saw that the third novel in this series was due to come out shortly, so it was a good reminder to check out this second book. is Julia a girl with a monster lurking inside her? Or a monster wearing the disguise of a girl? If she can use her monstrous power to save Theo, does it matter? It s a fiery, hellish world, filled with creatures who seem to recognize her and count her as one of their own. Her strange ability to vanish to a place just out of sight has grown: she can now disappear so completely that it s like stepping into another world. The thing that truly scares her lies within. Casimir wants that magic will happily kill Theo to extract it and every moment they hunt for Ko Dan, Casimir s assassins are hunting them. No closer to undoing the terrible spell he cast that bound an ancient magic to the life of a small child. But for all the miles traveled, they are no closer to finding Ko Dan.
