Great continuation of the story. The giant snails are cool. Snort I want one. The boon is filled with Wild imagination making the story entertaining for sure.

Two huge things that annoy me so bad I wanna quit reading. The queen is dumber than a box of rocks, helpless as a kitten and berates everyone around her. Women readers should be offended. Also, what kind of idiot refuses to kill someone in Defence when the bad guy is trying to kill you constantly and kidnap your queen. Knowing she will be raped and brutalized. So if that kind of thing irritates you don’t read it.

I do look forward to Book 3.

Love Love Love!

Such a good series so far, I seem to fall in love with all of TC Southwell's books. The characters are unique & interesting, such an imaginative world that you can really lose yourself in.

Not quite as good as the first one in the series - but still enjoyable

I thought this book was pretty good. The pace was awesome, wanted to see what was going on. As usual Southwell comes up with the most interesting worlds.

This one was ever changing and the societies Saber and Tassin ran into were just as varying as the landscape.

Saber is as awesome as ever and Tassin is as obnoxious as possible at all times, as per usual.

I think it'd be awesome to see these big, crazy snails.

In this, Tassin is far more tolerable than in the first book. I'm only on the 4th in the series, but this one certainly wasn't the best. It was no worse, no better than the first book but it didn't stand out. I wasn't a big fan of the Dead Zone creature, 'Purr,' but it wasn't enough to turn me off of the series.

With each book in this series, it becomes more difficult to stop reading, possibly since the book is character driven and the characters are so realistic. Readers will also find a very different Tassin by the end of this book – one who isn’t nearly as selfish and conceited as the Tassin of Book 1 – as with all people, Tassin is changed by her experiences and the author portrays this brilliantly.

This series is just getting better and better! T.C. Southwell's world's are amazingly diverse with characters and settings. Tassin has definitely grown up and isn't as snobby as in the first. I'm definitely looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
