A Sacred Grove by Michael Anderle, Auburn Tempest

2.0

So this book wasn't bad, but it didn't really drag me in the way the first book did. Part of that may be my own mental state - it's not great ATM - but I have to admit part of it was the book as well. Some of the wonder from book 1 has disappeared, and we're left with a book without any clear story, that seems instead a collection of two short stories rather than a full book, and neither of the stories really gripped me, because we stood kind of outside of them. Also, the author continues with their trend of not actually letting us see action scenes, or ruins the ''surprise'' of them with a ''godly narrator'' moment just before they happen. It keeps throwing me out of the story.

So not a bad book, but just OK, and not OK enough to really get me hyped for the third book in the series. We'll see what happens. Maybe my interest returns in the future.
