Ghosts will rise.
As Dirk, his friends, and their bonded monsters continue to grow stronger, life unfolds at the Tamer Academy. New classes. New professors. And forays into the Wilds.
But a threat from the past has surfaced, with a grave plan that will put everything the Tamers are working for at risk.
As the moment to unlock the way to the Keystone draws near, the timing couldn’t be worse.
If you love monster-catching stories similar to Pokémon, unlockable elemental magic abilities, and Weak to Strong Progression LitRPG fantasy novels, Monster Tamer Academy is for you.

I love, Love, LOVE this book/series!!!
I love, Love, LOVE this book! And who'da thought that when reading that first book, because as I said in my previous review this series only gets better! As Dirk, his monsters, and his team get stronger and stronge, leveling up as fast as they can. Wow that Loremaster guy is really creepy! Soooooooo creepy!!! And Commander Fenton is kinda a mystery too... Dirk gets saddled with Picard a Domineer and they end up having a friendly rivalry and respect for one another! Of course Dirk gains a tertiary Monster a Ghost Fairy named Mara! But Pax also gains a tertiary Monster a ghost Dire Wolf, Ice Fang. Dirk is is finally able to start piecing the puzzle of his past together. There's even a few pop-cultural references slipping in.
So yeah grab the book because there's a Primordial Monster that's has his sites set on ending Dirk and the world!
Here a quote:
"As the legendary tamer commander Zun Stu is reported to have once said, ‘Know thyself, and you cannot lose.’”

Sweet and tart, refreshing yet familiar. It's hard to write a new series without falling into the trap of each book sounding like the last, yet Wideman and Herrmann do it. Introducing new characters, new villains and new plot information... this book was a pleasure to read and I can't wait for the final book. I still can't determine if Dirk is on the "right" path or not, and I love it!
