About the author

As far back as I can remember, I have been enamored by all things fantasy. And the moment I found an outlet for my imagination in writing, it changed my life. When I'm not writing, I enjoy spending as much time as I can with my wife and son at our home in Iowa. Thanks for reading!

Reviews

[Kylie Potter · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think I liked this book better than the first one. I did do a re-read of book 1 before starting this to make sure I didn't get confused on anyone's names or the terms used in the book. I feel that the pattern with this series is a very slow start and buildup, followed by captivating action near the end. I did get pretty emotional near the end of the book, but it took a little while to get there since it dragged a little at the start. I love Endra's character, and I love that she was able to form a bond with Sendana after having such a rivalry with her in book 1. I really don't feel any chemistry between her and Tristan, so I'm glad the author took this book in the direction he did. I also have to say I've never read a successful romantasy written by a male author but I actually enjoy this one! There aren't any explicit scenes and the romance definitely isn't a main part of the story, but it's incorporated well and I think he writes both his male and female characters wonderfully with a lot of character development and depth. Hoping that this trilogy follows the pattern we've seen thus far and improves even more with the next book.
