aethena1313 's review for:
Yet a Stranger
by Gregory Ashe
This story was intense. So many events crash together at once that Theo and Auggie spend a great deal of the story spinning.
I struggled to write a review for the first book. I couldn't find the right words to express how I felt about the events of the first story. Maybe the Shakespeare theme generated a subconscious mental block for me. This book is a bit different. It felt like the Empire Strikes Back of the series. Big reveals, traumatic events, and fast-paced action scenes turn this story into an emotional rollercoaster.
The book has quite a few tidbits to contemplate after you are finished reading/listening. The parallels between a certain Shakespearean play, the mystery that Theo and Auggie are trying to solve, and the events unfolding in their lives, leave plenty of ideas to process. Seeing glimpses of Somerset's life before Hazard returns to Wahredua made me want to reread all of the Hazard and Somerset books. Trying to remember how to spell Wahredua made me want to throw a brick at a map of Missouri even though it is a fictional town. Listening to JF Harding narrate this series made me want to hunt down everything he has narrated so far. I should stop here. I have more to contemplate while I toss some clothes in the dryer, then I am going to listen to book three.
