Noble Dead Saga: Series 2

review 1: Ahh Wynne. Indomitable of spirit, high in honor and justice, but a bit lacking in common sense and survival instinct. I think that's why I'm not too keen on her. She always needs saving.Anyway! here we have the second installment of Wynne's search for the Noble Dead and the mysteries of a long lost past. Traveling with Shane, Chap and Lilly's daughter Shade, the unlikely trio enter the realm of the dwarves and face off once more against the wraith that fought them in the first book.In the process she stumbles upon something she really shouldn't have, introducing us to a new race of sea creature alongside the elves, Majay-hi, dwarves, Noble Dead, and other such from this book and previous ones. Interesting to see what role they play in the rest of the series.Not much more i... morenformation revealed here, Wynne is reunited with her books and journals at long last, and we find the secret that her antagonist the Duchess has been hiding.As I said, a little boring in some places, but not bad.
review 2: In this particular series (a continuation of the Hendees' Noble Dead saga) most of the action centers around Wynn (a prominent semi-main character from the first series) and at first that's an intriguing change -- as in the last series Wynn seemed smart but spent much of her time being protected/occasionally helping and also occasionally tripping up her companions Magiere, Leesil and Chap. Wynn's exasperating headlong naivete and rashness seem to cling too strongly to her character in the second series (despite the serious and sometimes long-term effects her actions intermittently caused in the last series). At times -- for this reader at least-- the rather regular frequency of those incidents begins to be too predictable and to overpower the intricate narrative. I understand that most of us exhibit self-destructive or exasperating attributes that get us (and others) into a painful and funny assortment of trouble over and over again. But reading about it repeatedly (without a single sign that Wynn is about to put on the brakes) begins to feel like deja vu and then after the ominous feeling that a similar scenario is about to crop up yet again the reading experience begins to resemble eating your sixth stale cracker. You're grateful it's stale crackers --not mashed centipedes-- but you're wondering why you didn't stop after one (in this case the first series). less

i really enjoyed reading the continuing tale of wynn, i was hoping that magiere and leesil may have been brought back into the series. I don't mind the character of wynn even tho at times shecan be a little stroppy and inpatient which seems to get her in trouble. I'm curious to always keep reading to hope that more is told but only a little more information is ever dropped. The fact that there is now a further 4 orbs kinda ruined it has it would have been better to just have the 1 and that way magiere and leesil would have been brought back to fight the evil for the orb instead of the lets go find the other 1 that i now feel it's getting. Apart from that i enjoyed the book and learning a little more bout the forgotten war.

Solid novel. Better than the previous novel In Shade and Shadows.
