Ylva's journey at the Afterlife Academy continues and it's an exciting adventure. Secrets are unveiled and we learn more about shadow creatures. There were twists and turns I wasn't expecting.
I love the world that was created, it's unique and fascinating. I'm very intrigued by all of the side characters, even though I don't particularly care for. They all have unique personalities and effects on Ylva's time at the academy.

Wow 102 is Awesomesauce. I couldn't get enough of it so thrilling and mysterious I'm glad Ylva for Hyde and the other wolves back. We also get to know about more shadow creatures and a new secret about Ylva. I can't wait to get book 3 I'm so excited to read what's going to happen next.

Arizona Tape has hit all the emotions, intriguing storyline and amazing character developments throughout the second book of The Afterlife Academy series with Valkyrie 102 - The Forest of Illusions.
Whilst Ylva isn’t at the academy learning as much in the typical teaching sense, she’s definitely learning a lot in other ways.
Each of the characters bring their own importance to the storyline, and even though there’s characters that you might not like, their influence in Ylva’s story is an essential part. I especially adore the relationship developing between Ylva and Ryoko.
I’m completely loving this refreshing take on an academy and afterlife story, and I highly recommend the first two books in the series Valkyrie 101 and 102. Looking forward to continuing this series with the next book Valkyrie 103.

Ylva is facing the evil that took her husk and she has to decide whether to fight or run to fight another day.
Ylva finds herself untethered in the Veil and then attached to the man who took the wolves from the Academy. He brings her to the Forest of Illusion where she finds herself stuck until she solves the puzzle of the Forest only to end up with more than she bargained for in the process for freedom always has a price. Upon her the Academy, nothing returns to normal as once again Ylva faces yet another animal who decides she makes a nice lunch. She once again survives to find the world changed again for her and those around her as a time clock has been started and it is a race against time as lips are sealed, battles are fought and lost, and Ylva is once again standing alone in the darkness.
It is so hard not to give anything away (banging my head). I waited with lots of anticipation for this sequel and Arizona Tape did not disappoint with Valkyrie 102: How to become a Valkyrie her second book in “The Afterlife Academy” series. I got short of breath just typing the above because so much more happens and I want to tell you, but I cannot because I want to live to see the next book (laugh). Tape takes us on a whirlwind with Ylva and it is actually a good whirlwind for her character, not so much our hearts or her’s, but for the character. Ylva is facing more than just the man that took her wolf, but her determination to be who she wants to be as she faces the battles on her own. In the first book, she was determined to find as many allies as possible and in this one she ends up fighting most of the battles on her own. Her relationship with Ryoko is a typical one for two teenagers, they share loving scenes and fight scenes. I love them together. Just like with LOL, we need to start an “Afterlife Academy” club because I need someone to discuss my theories with and I already have so many - Tape makes the series addicting and there is nothing more that a reader wants and hates and that is to crave the next book. I hope you are on this journey with me because Tape makes it worth the wait.
Valkyrie 201 is due out in September 2019, I will be trying to snoop around the Academy in the meantime…(ssshhh don’t tell Arizona what I’m doing).

P.S. Did anyone catch what the guide in Forest of Illusions said to Ylva many times: “Remember, everything is an illusion,” that has stuck in my head and made me think this better not be a when Bobby wakes up dream. Just saying Arizona you have to show up at a conference sometime (laugh - just joking).

Fun like the others but this one had a lot of manufactured teen drama rather than romance. Still, the plot was more solid in this one and this book was way more fun. The writing is serviceable, but nothing spectacular, some cliches were used such as “deafening silence”. I really do not like it when authors use this, it doesn’t make any sense for silence to be deafening.
