Descendant

Descendants Saga #2

by James Somers

Brody has defeated Mr. Black and his terrifying dolls, restoring their human counterparts in London, but at what cost? Oliver James has been consigned to the angelic prison of Tartarus where a maddening abyss awaits. Tom has been trapped in the icy realm of Greystone with the vampires while they go insane with bloodlust, seeking a way back to the mortal world. And the son of Lucifer, Grayson Stone, has emerged on the scene, receiving praise and adoration from both mortals and Descendants alike.

Time is running out for the British Empire and a war between the Descendant clans appears imminent. Can Brody and his allies stop the insurrection sweeping through the clans, or has Lucifer's plan to rule the nations already come too far?

Reviews

[Rick Soper · Rating 4 out of 5]

The fact that this is kind of a middle book is really apparent once you finish the story and your left saying, "What the hell?" because there are a lot of balls that are left way up in the air. To actually keep the same level of creativity that Somers displayed in the first book on the series, Fallen, would be difficult for anyone to do. But with those two complaints voices, I have to say that Somers actually does a very good job of moving the overall story forward, while maintaining the identities of his main characters. Fallen was a very good book that I really enjoyed and have suggested to many people. Descendant is not as good, it's still pretty good, but it just falls short of the first book, and I think the only reason it really does is because all the good tricks and treats were presented in Fallen, so Descendant is just repeating in a lot of places, instead of introducing. I'll look forward to Reading the next book in the series because I want to see if Somers can recapture the magic and joy I had in reading Fallen.

Jaw dropping

This book kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I even ignored my need to sleep twice just so I could continue to read the spell binding words of the brilliant James Somers.

A few issues

Not a bad series of books, I do struggle with the continuous use of "irregardless"! Was this series self published? If not the author needs a refund from the editor ;)

One star removed for the words "mercurial", "preternatural", and "coy". But good read overall.
