(Source: I received a digital copy of this book for free on a read-to-review basis. Thanks to author Cassandra Webb.)

“I’m sure I’m about to die.”


This was a YA fantasy story, which followed on from the story in book 1.

Kemla was a stronger character in this book, and she did well to keep herself safe, and to find people who could help her.

The storyline in this was about Kemla finding somewhere to go after having been left by the slave traders, and also finding somewhere to belong, which she seemed to accomplish, even considering her past. We did get a bit of romance which I wasn’t expecting, and we also got quite a bit of action!

The ending to this tied things up nicely, but still left room for further adventures in the next book. Overall I think this was an improvement on book 1, and it will be interesting to see how the story develops in the third book.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to read your the second of your books in the Kemla Saga. Here is my honest review in return for this copy.

We continue our journey with Kemla after her escape from the slave traders. She has found herself in a home like none she has ever been a part of. For once she can live without being afraid of being abused. However, she has trouble letting a lifetime of pain and fear go and living peacefully. She continues to want to know where Leon is and if he is safe and what he can teach her.. BUT, enter stage left... Orin. Handsome and oh so adorable and loveable! Can she let go and live a settled life on a farm with Orin or will the temptation to continue traveling take her on a different path and if so will Orin follow or let his feelings for her go?
I am tickled pink with the growth the author has displayed in her writing style in this novel! Kemla has continued to be a real person that the reader wants to love and champion her on her journey through this thing called life! I love it and the "not really a cliffhanger but make me beg for more ending" is the bomb!!

I received a copy from the author, in exchange for an honest review.

Actual Rating: 3.35

This was a good read. I liked the characters. I loved the world building. I thought the story was interesting. The magic and the romance aspect were good too. I liked Orin and Kemla. The book started off good. However, there were parts where I was bored. As the story progressed, the story did pick up a little bit more, but it was not as good as the first few chapters. I thought the ending was good and it was an improvement from the last book. Overall, a quick read. Thank you Cassandra Webb for the opportunity to read your book. It was a good second book. I hope the third book will be more of an improvement.

Kemla was an okay character again in this installment.

There was a few times in this one where I started to feel a bit bored, but it wasn't quite as bad as book one, so it was an improvement.

Overall, An okay read.

This is another online serial, following on directly from LIFE, book 1. A chapter went live on the website every week until the story had rounded off and then it was bundled into a book.

Webserials read a little differently to standard novels, and you can read the latest chapter right now on www.amagicalsaga.com

Because this book is written to such a tight schedule expect some spelling/grammar slipups. In the near future an editor will be hired to give the work a good going through.

The bundled book is available as cheaply as Amazon would let me create it because I just want people to enjoy my work. Read away and I love your reviews.
