review 1: This book was from a very different perspective than the first one. Jason is not a nature-y person like Kelsa. He loves his car. Raven, in the form of a girl now, takes several days to try to convince him, finally having to take some rubber from his tires, metal shavings from the inner part of his car, and power from his car battery and add it to the ley healing dust. Jason ends up healing the ley due to the fact that his car won't run if he doesn't heal it. He faces many obstacles along the way. I loved the book and the evolution of Jason's character.
review 2: I'm really sad to have to write this review. I ADORED Hilari Bell's Goblin Wood series. As in it was one of the best fantasy series I've ever read. So, no matter what I have to say about this book, don'... moret write off this author--go read the Goblin Wood series!But this...Jase was a hormone-driven, car-obsessed flat character. The book slogged, with so much explaining about things that could have been summed up really quickly and made room for actual plot. I got SO tired of Jase talking about his car--as did the other characters, since Bell has their eyes glazing over when Jase rambles about it. And the fact that he saw Raven as nothing but a great body...It was if Bell was trying to appeal to guys, but the kind of guys this book would appeal to would never pick up a book anyway.I never read the book that comes before this ((Trickster's Girl), but that had nothing to do with this review. It was not at all a matter of being lost or feeling like I'd missed part of the story. It was more that there was no real story.Anyway, I'm bummed. I hope she goes back to writing more books in the vein of Goblin Wood. less
