Goodreads Synopsis:

Once upon a time, wizards tried to conquer the Sacred Realm of Hyrule. The Spirits of Light sealed the wizards’ power within the Shadow Crystal and banished them to the Twilight Realm beyond the Mirror of Twilight. Now, an evil menace is trying to find Midna, Princess of the Twilight Realm, and the fragments of the Shadow Crystal to gain the power to rule over both the Twilight Realm and the World of Light.

Link and Midna head for Death Mountain to dispel the darkness that is plaguing the Gorons and hopefully obtain another shard of the Shadow Crystal. If they can recover the shard they’ll only need to find one more piece of the Crystal. But their journey is far from over—shadows are gathering at Hyrule Castle and there are still many grave dangers and terrible foes to face!

Review:

We find out where Ilia has shown up, only to discover she doesn't remember anything. It's an interesting side story, and a bit of a surprise for Link. He doesn't really know how to pretend, though, and act like he doesn't know her. That's a bit outside of his repertoire.

Aside from that, Link fights a few bosses and continues traveling around, trying to find the pieces and save the kingdom. There's a bit of a cliffhanger at the end here, as Link and Midna finish one quest. This will probably only complicate things in the mean time, though.

I don't mind following this series, but it's mostly just okay. That's probably how it works when you adapt a video game, though, even if it's done pretty well.
