Legends of Muirwood
review 1: Rising from her humble beginnings as a lost orphan, Lia is summoned to be Muirwood Abbey’s protector and special guardian for Ellowyn Demont, the lost heir of the fallen kingdom of Pry-Ree. After the death of the ruthless king at the battle of Winterrowd, the great Aldermaston and Abbey leader calls on Lia to use her mystical talents to save Muirwood from two new threats — a vengeful queen accusing the Abbey of her husband’s death and a deadly plague threatening to destroy the land. Amidst the turmoil, a battle ensues, and soon Lia learns the world’s magic has begun to falter. As a blanket of dread envelops the Abbey, hopes are tested, and Lia will be forced to come to terms with a secret that will change her life forever.A good second book in this trilogy.It is be... morecoming obvious that this world is an After Judgment, Different World than ours. Plotwise, there is some succession "stuff" going on with another Wretched being the heir. And that messes around with Lia's emotions as Colven is involved.This was much more romance'y than the first book. We find out a LOT more about how the medium works and lots of spiritual background. Pretty cool stuff.Then comes the end and we find out Lia is actually the lost heir, and that a Blight [in the form of a plague that is 100% deadly] is coming to punish everyone for forsaking the ways of the medium.
review 2: I throughly enjoyed this book. I'm not going to spend a lot of time on a lengthy review as many others already have and hit all the main points. But to me this was a pleasant book. I didn't think it seemed to "religious" as others have mentioned, or at least I didn't interpret it that way, and as a middle book in a trilogy, I think it was really nice and not just a lot of empty filler or build up. less

This book is a rare exception where the sequel is better than the original. I loved it.
