A review by lazygal
Curse of the Forgotten City by Alex Aster
4.0
When I read Curse of the Night Witch I'd wondered if the second book could live up the freshness. Reader, it did.
There is an underlying mythology that isn't like one that we've known before (based on Columbian stories) and it's really wonderful. For Book Two we're taken to a completely different part of this world, one with pirates and merpeople and hidden arctic caves and clues to the next point in the quest. Yes, this is a quest book but there is no map per se, it's going from clue to clue to clue. The additional spaces in this world are as wonderfully written as in the first book. I'm already looking forward to the third!
