Publisher's summary

Rich in suspense and brimming with adventure, the New York Times best-selling Underland Chronicles unfold the fate of the Underland and the great warrior, Gregor. Suzanne Collins is also the author of the best-selling Hunger Games trilogy.

Gregor is summoned back to the Underland by the terms of a second prophecy. Spies have reported the sighting of a Rat King, a character who has been legendary since the Middle Ages. Recognizable by its tremendous size and snow-white coat, the Rat King is destined to bring a World War to the Underland. Gregor eventually comes face to face with the Rat King, and to his surprise, he finds he is unable to kill this creature. His heart tells him he's making the right decision. Will it be a decision he lives to regret?

good second book

I liked the story as it expanded the relationship between Gregor and Luxa in subtile ways. Introduced both interested and obnoxious characters. Brings more into the focus the ingrained prejudice the inhabitants of the Underland have for each other. And how that cost lives. The twist near the end of who the Bane is, is a good, but not a surprise. Nor is Gregor's decision on the Bane as his character was well developed by author over first and this book. IMHO

Another Great Story

I loved the 2nd book in the Gregor series, so much so ... I listened to it again! The perfect adventure! The perfect escape from this world.we know, even if not by choice. ...mixed with the complexity of loving being away, but missing those who care. I think it is great for any age, especially those who like things to end well.
