Meh ( )

A fun new fantasy read for those who love the genre. I enjoyed getting to know the characters, though some were a little flatter than others. This magical world was one in which I will look forward to visiting again. Now that they are on their way to defeating the Ancients, it will be interesting to see where their new adventures take them and how their powers are used for good. Can't wait to see more of Rook!

Also, really like the cover. Perfectly matches the story. ( )

A good friend of mine has been recommending DeStefano's books to me, and I've finally got around to reading them. So glad I did! ( )

From Internment to Havalais...

Burning Kingdoms is the second book in The Internment Chronicles series. It starts off where Perfect Ruin ended with some of the characters from Internment attempting to fly below the wind barrier to reach the ground, which they've been never been allowed to see. To say anymore then that would give to much of the plot away so I'll just say if you like the first book in the series, you should really enjoy this one. There isn't any second book syndrome going on with this one. If anything, I think this second book was actually better then the first. Where Perfect Ruin has a slow building plot with some dead spots and a few grammatical errors, Burning Kingdoms plot is action packed and the writing is a lot more polished. The world building though is what really hooked me to the series in the first place. The floating city and the world DeStefano has a built around it, is pretty cool and very unique. Also, I'm normally not real big into the romance portion of stories but I actually really enjoyed the romance/relationship that's played out between Morgan and Basil. They just also happen to be my two favorite characters so I'm looking forward to seeing what the last book, Broken Crowns, has in store for them. ( )

It was fine. It didn't make me care enough about the characters to move on to the next book, though. So I think I'm done with Internment. ( )
