A review by tayleigh
The Secret of the Dark Forest by Vasily Mahanenko
4.0
This is a reread of this series and my opinions, reviews, and stars will be from my second read-though of this series.
4.5 Stars
This is one of my favorite books in the series. Mahan is finally in the real work and we really start to get to know Anastaria and Plinto as well as see the rest of the crew from the mines. Even though Mahan is still the point of view character, he can get irritating by not knowing things that he should know. Things tend to just happen to him which gets frustrating. However, I think the others that he is playing with are really interesting and complex characters which makes me more interested in everything going on. We are getting deeper into what it means to be a shaman and we get to meet the vampires in this book.
Mahan is starting to realize that he is incompetent in some areas especially regarding to rules, contracts, and negotiations. He has stated that he was a lone player for his old account, and it is really starting to show. He is does not always realize where is not as good and his assurance that he is great frustrate me.
He does, however, start to understand the world around him with his shamanism and he does make interesting choices during this book. Overall, I believe that this book was very entertaining and enjoyable.
