In Her Name: Redemption

review 1: I really wanted to love this book. I love the world and the idea behind it, and the first book in the series was fantastic. But this one just felt off. The characters were shallow and stereotypical - not archetypal - and there really wasn't an inciting incident to move things along. I kept waiting on something to happen, and it never did.This isn't the first sequel to feel this way, and some of my favorite series have been broken up by lackluster second installments, so I keep hope alive that the third one will end with some oomph. It's not really a bad book, though. It's just uninspired. Which is disappointing because there was so much promise in it based on the first in the series.
review 2: Better than the first book in the series, though EMPIRE was still en... moregrossing in laying the necessary foundation for Reza's journey and his character. I loved the military elements and characters in book two, especially the opening. There were some big surprises in the continuing adventure and one incredibly spooky-intense scene that gave me goosebumps with its fabulous build-up.Great conflict, mystery and world-building throughout. (I won't detail out the story here. That's what reading--and discovering--is all about.)I'm now a total Reza fan, and loved many of the other characters in his support group. I would have liked getting into the villain's head a little deeper to understand his motivations and why he holds such hatred for Reza, but I didn't see this as a major flaw in the story.I'm now halfway in to book #3 in the series THE FINAL BATTLE and it's heading toward what looks like a fabulous wrap to the series. less
