Shaman
IT'S ALL ABOUT MAGIC... AND FIGHTING FIRE WITH FIRE!
It's four years later, and Thomas Ross is fifteen years old. Rainbow's End has become home, and Thomas couldn't be happier.
But Desolation's ruler - the demi-god Kraylle - will not rest before he has destroyed his twin sister, her Travellers, and her little kingdom.
This time, he sends a young Mongolian Shaman, a spell caster and Fire Starter. The boy causes farms and shops and orphanages to go up in flames; even the Magic Forest and Orson suffer at his hands...
Thomas needs all of his powers to fight this new evil, and in the end is faced with a decision; a decision with moral implications that will change his whole way of thinking. His whole life.
He attains the third Crystal, learns that witches really do exist; and promptly falls in love with one. He also discovers that life is all about decisions... Deciding where to draw the line, and when take no more. Decisions whether to stand up for all you hold dear, or stand to lose everything that has ever mattered.

About the author
Corrie Mitchell
4 books5 followersAuthor Corrie Mitchell lives in Pretoria, South Africa, and is in his late 40's. He has always been an avid reader of fantasy and sci-fi fiction, and started working on The Rainbow's End Saga a few years ago.
Growing up, he claims to have lived in a 'fantasy world', and as a child, always wished there was some magical place he could escape to. This is where the idea for Rainbow's End came from. The ideas for Travellers and Wizards, and gods and magic, stem from his vivid imagination, and his awareness of what people really want to read.
He tried his hand at writing many times in the past, and has a few short-stories and poems under his belt. He found his true passion though, when inventing and writing Rainbow's End, and catering for the young-adult market.
Corrie Mitchell is currently working on the second book for Rainbow's End, which will be released in 2014.

This is book two in the series and I must admit I liked this book more than the first book.
The flow of the story was better and even the writing has an easy flow about it so that you get the feeling that you are right there next to the characters, joining the plot.
Thomas's character is more mature growing into his abilities with the greatest of ease not that Orson would agree with me... ;)Orson's character is wrapped in mystery giving us only glimpses of himself. His pride in young Thomas always evident although he would never admit it.
Kraylle's character is as evil as it gets. His sinister persona and devious mind always busy plotting to overthrow Rainbow's end.
I like the build up within the plot; the undertone of suspense always there and you get pulled into the story bit by bit as you get to know more about each person and the mysteries of Rainbow's End.
