New Lands by Geoff Rodkey

4.0

I received this Advanced Uncorrected Galley copy for free through Goodreads First Reads.

oh my goodness! Second books in a series are usually not quite as good as the first, but this one was on par with first. It expands Egg's world as his adventure continues. There are as many pirates and even more dangers.

Egg and Guts are off to find the Okalu to get the map translated, but their plans never go as expected. They finally end up at the destination, but they learn that Pembroke is up to no good again. This time it's even worse.

They find a Native Okalu named Kira. She agrees to take them to the Okalu, but Egg and Guts are kidnapped. Millicent surprises them in their prison hold the worse for wear.

And this is just the beginning of the book.

There is one major twist in the storyline. I wasn't expecting it and it's a doozy.

Plus, in this version, there is one thing that kills me. THE ENDING IS A CLIFFHANGER! Yes, an evil cliffy.

Dang it, Geoff! Write the third one now!

This is a great series.
