Like its predecessor, Miss Mayhem is a quick easy read, one that I immediately finished as soon as I sat down. Harper cannot be his Paladin till she completed an ancient trial that might kill her or solidify her bond to David. The Ephors are back, not to kill David but to hone his skills as The Oracle, though there is a catch.

'That's not very nice,' I told her, but the little girl shrugged. Miss Mayhem albeit, did something the first book never did: It bored me.īeing mean to kids is never okay, so I made myself put on a smile. I loved Harper, her girly badassness and all.
