The children must find a way to escape before their new world is buried in an unwinnable war.
 










Review:

We are back with Naomi and Gavin as they are exploring a new world.  The author does a great job with all the descriptions and creating the world.  It was very easy to fall back into the authors writing style in this second book. 

The author does an amazing job with the dynamic between Naomi and Gavin.  Both characters have their own personalities, but they are able to work together.  I enjoyed seeing the expansion of both characters. 

I highly recommend reading the first book in the series and then reading this book.  The author does a great job expanding the world and more character development, but it was great to know what happened in the previous book while reading this one. 

I would suggest this as a weekend read.  I enjoyed the first book in the series and this book jumps right it.  I had a hard time putting this book down when I was reading. 

I received a copy of this book from YA Bound Tour to provide an honest review.  This does not affect my opinion of this book. 

My Rating: 4/5



Book One: 
The Last Shadow Gate (The Last Shadow Gate Chronicles #1)

Summer vacation was never supposed to be like this.

An investigation into the strange disappearance of their great-grandfather forces them to retrace his footsteps. They discover a gateway between worlds and encounter extraordinary creatures in a land where the people are desperate to escape the coming of a shade lord.

  3. The covers are very colorful! I'm glad you enjoyed the books and that's great that you point out to read the first book before reading the second. There are some series where some books can still be read as a standalone :-) That's very helpful in your review.
