Meeks This second book in the Hardstorm series was equally as good as the first book but pretty much unlike it it in almost every way. Tera and Batumar embark on an almost impossible journey to bring allies together to fight off the coming war with the Dark Emperor.You can see pieces of many of the epic fantasy we have all read over the years and that is Ok since we love that stuff :)As with any epic fantasy there is heartbreak, tragedy, tribulations and hope. Throw in some random evil and a prophesy that seems to be coming together regardless of whether Tera wishes it and you have a riveting story.Again as with book 1 there are multiple plots and a buildup to an epic finish which again is nothing new but that is almost the definition of epic fantasy even if it has more romantic elements than most I have read (which is a good thing)If I had any real complaints it would have to be a minor one about dropping to many hints of a mystery we had kinda figured out before it was revealed. A mention here and there randomly would be fine, it was almost to the point of being "Hey, look here, this is a hint!"Our heroine keeps getting stronger and I am looking for a great finish, I have not heard if this is going to be a trilogy or if it is going to be milked out as a series (let us hope not, I will never forget how horribly the Wheel of Time and the Sword of Truth kept cranking out sequels until nobody really wanted to read them anymore)Bottom Line: Great follow-up to book 1, keeps you involved, again I felt that I did not get some revenge I needed but I can keep hoping. Highly recommended and I can't wait for the next one. NOTE: I had to come back and add this sentence, this second book is much more like epic fantasy than book 1 in that the romantic elements are much less part of the story after about the first 20-25%, this does not make it less enjoyable and in fact I give the author kudos for not trying to force it into the story when it really does not fit for the great majority of this novel but she deftly injects it at the perfect times.
11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Accidental Sorceress: Strong pros, the same cons as Bk 1... but all in all it stacks up! By Angela No spoilers - just my honest review:Book 2 - definitely slower than book one (which is a feat considering how much terrain is covered in this book.) And the deification of Tera continues, but that is to be expected, since she’s the prophesied savior of the world, right?Marton's strength continues to be in her wonderful character development for the majority of her major players. And I appreciate Marton’s continued situational twists, not making it easy on Tera at all to be in the ‘savior’ role. Because of this, I continue to care about her journey and each new challenge that she faces. (Although, there was one scene in particular where I thought the price was a little too heavy. The whole thing felt more for shock value than anything else and I did have a strong “Wtf! Really?? We’re going there???” reaction to it. But if Marton and her editor(s) thought it was necessary… okey dokey.)The con is, as always, in the world building. The different countries and cultures are shallow at best, poorly defined, and sort of blend into each other like a watercolor painting under a running faucet. The final conflict of this book didn't feel all that epic (sort of been there, done that from book one) because I wasn't really invested in the people/land that hosted the fight. I didn't know them, they were completely interchangable with every other land/people under threat from the 'big bad' in this ocean world.Anyway, we get some really good twists in this next chapter and some new companions as well - a tiger, a wraith, and a merchant slaver who all add more character depth to this world in a wonderful way.I definitely recommend this installment if you were a fan of Reluctant Concubine.
9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. The Sorceress TELLS a Story By J. Perez I hope you find this review USEFUL.What I would have liked to know before I bought this book. (minor spoilers)1. What type of book is it: adventure, action, drama, etc? This volume tries to be an epic fantasy adventure. Its romance fails to build on the previous installment’s base.2. What is the story about, in general? The story is about Tera, healing her way through a war torn land, gathering allies and sending them into battle.3. What/Who is the target audience? Teenage, YA and Adult ladies.4. How is the editing and proofreading? The book needs a good edit. Most of the story is narrated, with little dialogue involved. A lot of the story is told instead of shown. It felt monotonous even in action scenes. The use of were/was dominates some areas of the book. The proofreading is above average, but I did catch a clear error here and there.5. Is there character development or exploration? Yes. Tera is further explored as a sorceress, but the basic characteristics of her personality don’t change. Her actions lack depth and the oddly worded ‘voice’ of the first volume. With one bland exception, the descriptions of all new characters end on their skin; generic, external, without individual insight as to how the main character views their personalities.6. Are the characters likable? The characters are generally forgettable. They felt bland and generic. Thus, I can’t say I like any of them because I didn’t get emotionally involved in their welfare. Their synergy is sparse, disjointed, uncoordinated and mostly TOLD instead of shown.7. Do you have to suspend disbelief? The events surrounding Tera and Batumar strained my disbelief to extremes. Two very improbable coincidences must exist for this story thread to continue. Worst still, I predicted the resolution. Thus, that particular twist didn’t ‘get’ me.8. Does the story keep its pacing? No. For the second book in a romance series, this book has very little romance. Thus, what’s the point of writing a romance book that lacks romance?The book is mostly a narration of Tera’s tribulations. Dialogue gave way to explanations of personal sacrifices, epic battles, burned villagers and such. The reader rarely experiences the adrenaline rush of the ever present conflict. Worst still, many powerful dramatic scenes lack the language and imagery necessary to really pump the pacing. We’re TOLD about them, not shown.9. Is the book worth the asking price? The $4 price tag, combined with the 99 cents of the previous book, averages around $2.50 per book. That’s really cheap.In conclusion: The author uses many events in succession to increase pacing, but most of the story is told through observations and impression. It felt like reading an impersonal journal. Most of the characters lack description and depth. Some big coincidences felt forced. The book has a certain degree of predictability which did not enchant. There is very little drama romance. The editing needs a little polish to get rid of all the repetitive was/were verbs and to axe all the ‘telling’. The proofreading is good, but some words are misspelled. The price is fairly cheap and accessible. This book forgets an important factor: it’s supposed to be a romance story. The writing style is still above most authors, but I can’t say this volume impressed me.2.8 Stars
