Kalder: Head in the Clouds - Book 2

by C.E. Wright

Hurricane figured that breaking into the home of a god and stealing his magic would be easy. Bitter irony teaches her, however, that she can never underestimate the unknown. After being swarmed by a pack of disgruntled griffins, she thinks she finds solace in a mysterious figure. But in the swelteringly thick air of Kalder, she needs to learn how to escape and, most of all, who to trust.

Reviews

[Pierre · Rating 4 out of 5]

As the first one, this book carries a lot more than would be expected for such a short read.
The immersion in Hurricane's mind is efficient in its simplicity, as she starts the quest she's been entrusted with, and things seem not as simple as she wished.
It differs from the first book though, in that half of the former was introducing her life and struggles in a very unusual way; leaving the reader connect the dots. This one is more turned to the action, the character being introduced.

Kalder is extremely well written. Building on themes established in the first book, it plays a lot with point of view, and the character development is really interesting. It also handles languages in a unique and dynamic way. I am immensely intrigued to find out what happens next, so this series has sufficiently hooked me. Totally worth the read.
