Legend of the Realm

Seekers of the Wild Realm #2

by Alexandra Ott

Fablehaven meets How to Train Your Dragon in this action-packed finale to the Seekers of the Wild Realm duology, following Bryn and Ari as they figure out how to stop the return of a plague.

Now that Bryn and Ari are official Seekers, they are excited to help the rest of the council in keeping the Realm and the magical creatures who live there safe. During a routine check with their beloved magical dragon, Lijla, Bryn, and Ari discover a baby gyrpuff with mysterious dark eyes. It’s clearly unwell, and after explaining to the rest of the elder council, they fear that a massive plague that crippled the Realm years prior has somehow returned.

Though Bryn and Ari manage to save the gyrpuff (named Little Puff) from near death, it is now up to Bryn, Ari, and the rest of the Seekers to find out how exactly this plague has returned—and whether or not human forces were at work in bringing it back.

I really liked this book. I'm glad that Bryn found a cure for the plague.

Terminé et j'ai beaucoup aimé ! J'étais ravie de retrouver Bryn, Ari et Runa. Par contre, ça m'a tellement énervée de voir à quel point Bryn n'est toujours pas considérée à sa juste valeur haha. Je ralais toute seule devant ma lecture. c'était une bonne conclusion, même si j'aurais aimé avoir un petit épilogue genre "quelques semaines/mois plus tard". Néanmoins, j'ai passé un très très bon moment !

Le second tome de la série Sentinelles du Royaume Sauvage, intitulé La Légende de l'Or des Fées, nous emmène une fois de plus dans l'univers magique et envoûtant créé par l'auteure Alexandra Ott. Cette suite tant attendue continue de briller par son imagination débordante, ses personnages attachants et une intrigue captivante.

L'héroïne, Bryn, a accompli son rêve en devenant une Sentinelle aux côtés de son ami Ari, accompagnés de leur dragonne Lilja. Cependant, la route vers la reconnaissance n'est pas sans embûches pour Bryn, en tant que seule fille parmi les membres du Conseil. Cette dynamique apporte une dimension de réalisme et de profondeur aux personnages, Bryn se battant pour gagner sa place dans un monde où les traditions ont la mainmise.

L'intrigue principale, centrée sur une épidémie qui touche les créatures magiques du Royaume Sauvage, est aussi passionnante que mystérieuse. Bryn est prête à tout pour prouver sa valeur, même si cela signifie enfreindre les règles établies. Son aventure à la recherche d'un remède, tel que décrit dans une ancienne légende, offre une dose parfaite de suspense et de tension.

Ce qui distingue cette série, c'est la manière dont elle mêle habilement le monde des créatures fantastiques à celui des forces humaines malveillantes. L'auteure explore les ramifications complexes de l'interaction entre ces deux mondes, créant ainsi une toile d'intrigues qui ne cesse de se déployer.

Alexandra Ott excelle également dans la création d'univers immersifs. Son écriture descriptive nous plonge facilement dans le Royaume Sauvage, avec ses paysages enchanteurs et ses créatures magiques fascinantes. Les lecteurs se retrouveront aisément transportés dans ce monde fantastique, peuplé de mystères et d'aventures.

La Légende de l'Or des Fées est un mélange parfait d'action, de mystère, d'amitié et de courage. Il est indéniable que cette série continue de se hisser parmi les meilleures de la littérature jeunesse. Alexandra Ott réussit à captiver son public avec une histoire qui allie habilement la magie à des thèmes universels tels que la persévérance et la loyauté.

Sentinelles du Royaume Sauvage Tome 2 : La Légende de l'Or des Fées est une lecture exaltante, aussi bien pour les jeunes lecteurs avides d'aventure que pour les adultes en quête d'un monde enchanté. Alexandra Ott continue de nous émerveiller avec son talent narratif et sa capacité à créer des mondes féeriques qui restent gravés dans l'esprit longtemps après la dernière page tournée. Une suite pleine de promesses pour cette série déjà prometteuse.

This novel tells about a 12 year old girl named Byrn who takes her very first challenges as an official Seeker of the wild realm.

When Seeker Byrn and her Seeker friend, Ari find out the truth after a deadly and menacing plague emerging, destroying the charming Realm, they could not wait to explore and save it from the threat.

The plague has appeared before, killing more than half of the realm. However the council decided to keep it as a secret between the seekers. When Seeker Byrn and Seeker Ari find out about the disease, the other older seekers had no choice but to tell themabout it.

Whenever Byrn and Ari tried to voice their ideas, the other seekers interrupted them and turned against them. She decided to prove herself to the council by breaking the rules and entering in the Realm at night to find any clue, how to cure the sick animals. Thinking she's right and confident about the adventure, she nearly lost her dragon, Lilja.

My favorite character in this story is Seeker Byrn because I liked the way she showed courage and a pure will to save the Realm, although she made many mistakes along her way. I strongly recommend this book to studetns who enjoy fantasy, adventure and magic.

J'adore cet univers ! L'intrigue ici était tout aussi passionnante que celle du premier tome, j'ai été happée par l'histoire et l'action. Les créatures que l'on découvre sont fascinantes et donnent envie de les croiser dans la vraie vie (Cœur sur les renards de glace, of course). Les personnages sont toujours aussi attachants, même si j'avoue que le comportement d'Ari m'a parfois agacée. De même que le fait que Bryn ai toujours autant de difficultés à se faire entendre (C'est d'ailleurs ce qui fait que ça n'est pas un coup de cœur, mais ce n'est pas passé loin). J'ai beaucoup aimé passer plus de temps avec Runa, qui est franchement une meilleure amie géniale, qui ne pose pas de question et a une confiance aveugle en Bryn.

three and a half stars.
i listened to the adio book.
i've read this book before in the past, and really anjoyed it.

but this time bryn just seemed very unlikable, always breaking rules and thinking she's right. very stuck in one point of veiw and just not very likable at all.

plus, the little bit with little puff being taken out of the realm, and no-one even finding out, is just bad.

and i would have liked more about how they sent the vondor away, some dilog, quistioning, asking the liken something, we had so much build up to it, but then it ends right after it starts.

nicely written though

nicely written though.

If you loved the story of Bryn and Ari the first time, this second adventure will not fail to disappoint. The Realm is still as beautiful and imaginative as ever and is under attack again. Now as a Seeker, Bryn feels the need to prove herself to the rest of the Council of Seekers more than ever, and often dismisses all other advice in doing so. It takes Lilja succumbing to the attacks before she will finally stop to listen. I enjoyed the adventure and the plot moves quickly, but would have liked some new to differentiate it from the original story.

[Brooklyn Bickel · Rating 5 out of 5]

The legend of the realm is a story filled with magic, suspense, and adventure. I love how much Bryn cares for the realm and its magical creatures that live in it. I also love Runa's personality and her attitude. I was kind of annoyed with how the other seekers just kept ignoring Bryn but i'm glad about how it turned out in the end. The events and moments in the book kept me on my toes and I couldn't wait to find out what would happen next. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves adventure, suspense, magic, and fantasy.

[Laura Mauro · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought this was a super fun read. I loved the adventure elements I also thought it handled the topic of pandemic and that was unique element. I also really loved the characters and their adventures and also the talks about sexism and loved the fun animals in this world and also loved the focus on friendship elements. It was super quick read as well. Well def read more by this author in the future.

[Michael · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read with my daughter (4th grade) and enjoyed. The main character works to save her community from a plague while also learning to be assertive and to look beyond trying to do everything herself.

The adventure continues a bit down the road from the ending of book one. Still filled with dragons, magical creatures, evil intruders, friendship and fun. A longer but easy read for parents with kids 8-12 years old.

[Eileen Winfrey · Rating 4 out of 5]

The adventures of Bryn, Ari and Runa continue is this story as a new challenge threatens the realm. Can Bryn overcome her need to prove herself at the expense of her friendship? What is causing the animals of the realm to fall ill? An attention grabbing sequel for those who have read Book 1.

[Jessica Partlow · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was really annoyed with the main character’s arrogant attitude, but, thankfully, she realized her errors and became a better teammate. We enjoyed the cute, magical creatures and this story as a read aloud.

[Hannah Katakam · Rating 2 out of 5]

The main character makes the same mistake over. and over. and over. and over. and over. and over. and over... you get the idea.

At the end of the book she learns to not make this mistake. With a competent main character, half the book could have been taken out from her learning why

An amazing story! I loved this book from start to finish

[Cate · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful read, well written, imparts important lessons with added hope--especially important given certain current events. I hope she keeps adding to this series.

[Isabella.Frohmannoregonfamilyschool.Com · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good story. Weird that there is a sickness going on in the book and in real life. Not as good as the first, but im glad Runa got more of a part in this one..

Slow start, but otherwise good.

Another fun book in the series. Fun to see Runs find her feet, though the plot itself was a little less exciting.

Not a huge fan of MC's attitude in this book. She seemed a lot more whiney.

This was a cute little two book series. I did like the first book better but this one was still good. I wouldn’t be mad if there was a third book 😊
