Kwaide

The Ammonite Galaxy #2

by Gillian Andrews

Diva and Six are still scrapping with each other, but manage to find the time to start a revolution on Kwaide.

At first it seems impossible that they could prove a threat to the Elders, but as word spreads around the planet they find themselves joined by more and more sympathizers. Cimma is one of them - she and Diva are in their element; but Grace will have to take some agonizing decisions before very long, and will be forced to try to outwit an all-too-familiar enemy.

Arcan may be prepared to help, but even his enormous intellect can't predict just how far Atheron will go to safeguard Sellite interests. Atheron has schemes to deal with all of them; starting with Six.

—And there is a new visitor to the system, one who has come from thousands of light years away to meet Arcan ...

Reviews

[Tibbi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Mostly good continuation of the story.

[Rosemary Cantrell · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is book two in the Ammonite Galaxy series and is a young adult science fiction. Although science fiction is not really my thing, this series is better than I had expected. I think it is because the characters have some depth to them. Their personalities are unique; there are close friendships, and also humor.

They are involved in a war for independence on Kwaide, the home of one of the characters. There is plenty of intrigue and fighting to liven up the story. Some of the adventures pushed it a bit much for me, but I think younger readers will love it.

I have a little more trouble with the lake that is alive and some of the other unhumanlike creatures, but they do add an element of excitement to the story. It is really my own prejudice about science fiction coming to the forefront.

I would recommend, especially to young readers. There are some positive messages about friendships, sacrifice, and love.

This book picked up right where the first ended and might be difficult to follow the background without reading book one first.

I received a free copy of the book in exchange for writing a review.
