Much Better Sequel

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Hmmm, what to say about this book...I definitely liked it more than the first book, Everealm.

Pros:

---Much better world-building this time around. I felt like I have a much better feel of Everealm as a whole.

---Interesting developments in Bree and Rowan's relationship. Honestly, didn't see that one coming!!!

---Fae are added in! Finally, something other than just magic is added to the story.



Cons:

---Still way too many characters/couples. And Wildfire only adds more. It's just too much and there's not a lot of character depth because of it.

---Writing is still quite choppy and I feel it jumps from topic/situation to the next with no flow.

---No scary villain, this time around. Silas was actually pretty darn scary in book 1. No one in book 2 compares.

---Problems are still solved pretty simply and without much fear of defeat.

Overall, a better venture the second time around. I think book 3 will be better now that Wright has gotten some writing experience under her belt.
