Voices in the dark

Jan 04, Madeline rated it it was amazing Shelves: Apr 18, Jennifer Wardrip rated it really liked it Shelves: Things in his life seemed fairly normal with magic, until he discovers that his past and parentage aren't exactly what they seem. With the Imperialist Order and their thugs taking over the capital city and their order targeting anyone who has magical abilities, Anselm is forced to flee his home. Soon, he is going to have to make a choice: A suspense-filled, action-packed adventure.

The characters are memorable, the plot is unique. Readers who have not read the first book in the series, however, will be lost reading this book. I actually enjoyed this one much more then the first one! The pacing seemed to pick up, the plot is more flushed out and not so distracting and it is less character driven then the first book. Told through Anselm's perspective and set to a backdrop of political instability, this book kept my attention from beginning to end.

This was a huge improvement over the first in the series and I can't wait to see what book 3 has in store! Jan 03, Vickey Foggin rated it liked it Shelves: Melonia is in chaos as the weak King Cassius II tries to hold back invasion and revolution. Anselm was a baby in the first book and is the main character in this one.

All the characters are trying to discover secrets that were exposed in the first book--which makes things kind of boring. This is written much better than the previous one at least! I think the most interesting part of this book was seeing how much effect an editor has!! Jul 29, Ellen Voets rated it really liked it. I really loved reading this book. There was a little more tension than in the first one. What I really love about these books is that there is not a lot of action, but still it captures your attention.
