Back to the Vara
Two years have passed since Sammy returned from Perseopia.
She was gone less than a week, yet she came back changed.
Something inside her has awoken. She can sense people’s intentions, is able to affect objects with her mind. And there’s no one she can talk to about it.
Her mother won’t acknowledge her made-up fantasy stories and Esther, the old market woman, never returned for the bracelet.
Sammy needs answers and her only hope for them lies back in Perseopia.
Journey back to the vara with Sammy Ellis as she’s once again thrust into the Fungi Forest to fend for herself. Discover the events that led up to her first visit and learn of the fallout she created in her wake.

Daaaaaaaaaaamn! This book was even better than the first. It was so full of twists and turns, I never knew who to trust and what to think. Sammy's determination to stay in Perseopia conflicted with Hami's resolve to get her home, Mehrak and Hami's feelings for Sammy, the plan to get rid of the Ahriman, disaster and action at every turn. I loved it! Now I'm dying for book 3!
Thank you to the author for providing a copy for review.
EDIT: I wrote the above on my phone and really wanted to finish up on a computer so here goes.
While Sammy has grown up by two years since the last book, she is still a troubled young woman who makes rash decisions and doesn't listen to anyone. She's also becoming more complex, because she comes from an abusive household and now and then we see the darkness coming through - when she kills the rabbit, when she uses an animal up for her own purposes, and even regarding Mehrak/Gisouie. The thing that redeemed her was that she almost always recognized her dark feelings, and resolved to do better, to BE better. I loved her development, even if she was still a stubborn girl at heart.
Gisouie was completely opposite of how I expected her. I'm curious to see what role she plays in the next book, because there's a very complicated love triangle (quadrangle?) going on by the end of this and I honestly don't know who would be better partners.
I read the last few chapters with a lot of excitement and apprehension. Soooo much is left open-ended, and I don't know what Sammy is going to do. I'm seriously looking forward to the finale in book 3 to see how this all wraps up.
