Never and Forever
by Cressida Cowell (Hodder, 2020); audiobook read by David Tennant (Bolinda, 2021)
The finale of Cowell’s Wizards of Once series proves both cathartically climactic and something of a let-down, the extended codas drawing attention to a bloated cast of characters and the padding these provide. Nonetheless, a rousing MG adventure, elevated in audiobook form.
