TURTLES: A very enjoyable read, I recommend you check it out.
Description:
When a naked man washes up on the shores of Cemagna’s home, she knows
it means something bad is happening. And within 24 hours, she and her brother
Temet are thrown headfirst into a world of wizards, war, underground monsters,
and Magic-related human experimentation.
But what she did not expect to discover is the real nature of the
Wizardly Order, the prison-like organization all wizards are forced to join.
She learns the dirty little secret its leaders are hiding, and they will stop
at nothing to make sure she doesn’t repeat it.
To make matters worse, her worst enemy, Duke Von Chi, whom she thought
she was dead, turns up in the worst possible place: inside her mind, where she
can’t escape him. If the Wizardly Order doesn’t get her first, the insanity the
Duke is driving her to may succeed…
Review:
Wanderer’s Shadow was a quick and fast-paced sequel that picks up two
years after Halfway left off. Unlike the
last book, Halfway, Wanderer’s Shadow does not alternate between the characters
Cemagna and Temet, leaving Cemagna the sole narrator. Many of the questions
that were left unanswered at the end of the first book were addressed.
My main problem
while reading this book was the same as with Halfway. Because while I do enjoy
quick reads, when it becomes so quick that the plot and the characters’ actions
seem rushed it detracts from my enjoyment somewhat. Especially with fantasy I
think it is nearly impossible to rush because you have to be transported to an
entirely different world and I just never felt I was actually there.
If you liked Halfway
I would definitely suggest that you check out Wanderer’s Shadow. If you haven’t
read Halfway yet you can find out more about it HERE. The end of Wanderer’s Shadow definitely left
me wanting to find out what happens next despite the rushed feeling and I will
be keeping a lookout for the next installment.
