I Received An ARC Of This Book In Exchange For My Honest Review!
After reading the first book I was on the fence as to whether or not I was going to like this series. The very end of the first book is what made me decide to give this series a chance. I'm glad that I did.
The land of Resolution had me intrigued from the first time and I was upset that we didn't get to explore it more when we first learned about it and visited it. In this book we get to do just that. The land of Resolution is so bright and beautiful and the animals sound absolutely gorgeous. I got lost in the description of the land and its beauty.
Jein has me intrigued. She is unlike the other women in her land and I love that about her. There's some secret about her that has me wondering who she really is. I must say I wasn't expecting it to be what it was when I found out. It does make for an interesting story. I can't help but wonder what she's gonna do about it.
I really liked Yurani until I found out he was keeping secrets from Jein. Yes he was told to by the Governess and Jein's mom but I feel that if he loves her like he says he does he should have told her. Especially with them going on a year long expedition to find land in Resolution to expand their home.
Rohm is from the land Remjein which resides within Resolution. I was and wasn't surprised to find out who he was but I was shocked to discover the name of their home. I think that Rohm is awesome and that he would make a good mate for Jein. He doesn't really give her much of a choice in the matter. He wants to be her partner but is willing to accept the fact that she will allow him to Court her. I can't wait to see how this plays out. I like how they are together.
I was intrigued by the Oracle and she managed to pique my interest. Like all Oracles she speaks in riddles but there was something about her. I hope this isn't the last we get to see of her. She could become one of my favorite characters easily.
Cheryllynn Dyess wrote a book that managed to grab me where the first one left me unsure and straddling the fence. The characters were well written and easily to get attached to. There's a hint of romance that appeals to me. Watching Jein start to feel something towards a guy besides friendship and her shocked reaction to it was great. You manage to write a book with laughter, hint of new romance, adventure, and even some action. Thank you for such a interesting read. I can't wait to read the third book in this series.
In Resolution the reader returns to the fascinating world of Jein. She is unique among her people and does not yet realize just how much. She continues her internal battle of who she is versus who she was taught she should be. As I read I could still feel strangeness and uniqueness of a world so much like Avatar. Dyess very smoothly moves from book one to book two where the foreign feel remains, adding the sense that the reader is in a strange new land just like Jein is.
Things really get interesting when Jein and her companion meet new people in a land where they were expecting none. They have come looking for a new home but now that may be at risk. Jein struggles with her duty and her heart and most of all she fights to be who she is meant to be, no matter what anyone’s expectations are.
Resolution continues right back into Jein's Journey. I love this world! It's so descriptive you want to be there!
In book two you learn more about this world even more and more in depth about Jein. Usually trilogies are boring in book 2's but in this case it's different. You actually learn more and see the up and downs as Jein struggles.
So glad I have book three so I can keep on reading. I don't think I want to leave this world anytime soon to see if Jein can be who she's meant to be
