review 1: Bran is back along with some old friends (Adi, Polland, and Astara), as well as some new ones. The old characters were still fabulous to read about. I savored every scene with Adi, Polland, and Astara because there were new characters for Bran to meet. Let's get into some of those, shall we? Thomas. Um no. He just...no. He's going to have to do a lot of redeeming to make him even remotely appealing to me. Gary was interesting, but I'm on the fence with him. I don't quite know what to do with him at the moment. If he returns in another book, maybe he'll be able to convince me he's a decent guy. My biggest problem with him was how much of a jerk he seemed to be toBran when Bran first met him. Maybe that's just me, but I'm keeping my eye on him. Then there's Nim. I didn't kno... morew if I was going to like her or not because of Thomas, BUT she turned out to be an interesting little character. And I mean little. She's a fairy...sprite...thing...? She's some fierce little something or other and I thought she was great. A very cute character.Now let's talk story. The writing and the story itself was excellent, but really Kaleb? Why did you do that to Astara? I'm not going to say any more because I don't want this to be a spoilery review, but dang. I started making weird noises and my friends gave me odd looks. I didn't know how to contain all of the emotions I felt while reading this book. Once again, Kaleb blew me away with his storytelling. I'm very excited to see what Bran's next adventure will be. Even if it means I will once again be emotionally distraught by the end. So yeah, Kaleb, anytime you want to finish Bran's next book feel free. ;D
review 2: I really enjoyed this sequel to Bran Hambric The Farfield Curse. I have to admit forgetting quite a bit of the first book, but didn't leave me too confused on the plot of this book. I enjoyed the new characters, but missed having more of Polluck and Adi. My favorite part of this book was seeing how deep of a friendship Bran and Astara share. I will definitely pick up the next book when it comes out. I think this would be a great series for 10 and up boys and girls. less
