About the author
Rebecca Weller
5 books47 followersRebecca Weller spent her childhood chasing white rabbits, having tea parties on the ceiling, searching for Boo Radley in his tree, or sailing on a raft down the Mississippi River. She spent time in the land of Oz with not only Dorothy but also Elphaba, in the New England area with the March family, and on the red sand shores of Prince Edward Island at Green Gables.
Her years of education spread between Stoneybrook Middle School, Sweet Valley High, The London Institute, and a brief spell in Forks, WA. She has learned much from journeying to ivory towers, exploring the Swiss Alps, or cheering on the selection of a new princess in Illea.
When not writing her own stories, she continues to attend balls with the Bennett sisters in the English countryside, solve complex murder mysteries in the New York area, explore kingdoms found through wardrobes, or enjoys a good Jazz-inspired soiree in Long Island.
Good writers are readers. They are those that have been captured by the beauty of other’s words and feel compelled to share their stories as well. Anything more you want to know about me feel free to ask, I’m an open book 😏.

Phenomenal
I simply could not stop reading. Its just so well writen and flows so well. The characters are very well described and developed. So much detail but not so much that it bores you. I cannot wait to find out what Hannah's destiny really is.

"Veridan" is the second book in the Hleo series and picks up a little while after the events of the first book. Hannah's dad returns from England, Ethan and Hannah still keep their relationship a secret, and also, they are trying to figure out Hannah's gift and learn how she can control it.
Plot wise, it had a lot more action than the first installment. Exposition was still present, but on a lower scale. The story felt like it was progressing a lot faster and it had a nice pace, it didn't make me bored at all! Some new characters were introduced, both good and evil, and that made the story so much more intresting!
What I Liked most about this book were definitely the action sequences and Simon! Simon is a new character that acts as Ethan's new Hleo partner. He's English and has such a funny and cute personality, that I kept wishing he had a more major role in the novel. At first, I was a bit suspicious of him, he seemed way too good and I thought that maybe he was a member of the Bana, trying to jeopardise Ethan's work! Thankfully that wasn't the case and I sighed with relief! Another aspect I loved, was that we got to learn more about Hannah's real parents and that insight was quite delightful.
This time around, my problem was Hannah. While I completely sympathize with her regarding her father's affair with her teacher, her general behavior was quite immature for me. For example, she lashed out at her best friend (who knows nothing about the whole Hleo business) and then she was convinced that the only way to determine if Ethan really loves her, is to have sex with him! What more, she demanded to see The Three and everyone made it seem so simple, like the Hleo organization isn't, I don't know, secret or something? I think it would have been more plausible if The Three took and interest in her, because of her unusual gift and asked her to come to them, not the other way around.
Generally, "Veridan" continues the intresting story of Hannah while she's navigating the mysterious world of the Hleo, trying to figure out how she fits into all this. I am very curious to read the third installment too, to see how the story continues and what will become of Ethan and Hannah's relationship!
