Series Info/Source: This is the second book in the Stormbourne Chronicles. I bought this ebook for my Kindle.

Thoughts: I really ended up enjoying this second book in the Stormbourne Chronicles. Evie has taken refuge in a neighboring country but is determined to find the Fantazkies again in an effort to regain her powers. When trouble strikes she is forced to flee again and ends up in an amazing traveling circus full of mechanical animals. These mechanical animals are special and seem to be more than just the sum of their parts.

This is just such a fun fantasy adventure series. I love the adventures Evie ends up on, the characters are very well done and the story is fun and exciting. I really loved the mechanical animals at the circus and the addition of some new characters as well. I love how Evie is building friends and a family of sorts on her travels and I enjoy how honest and earnest her character is. Evie and Gideon are healing their relationship too and they work wonderfully together. There is some light romance in here but it’s not the focus of the story.

I can’t wait to see what the last book in the series brings. So far this series has been an easy and fun read that I am really enjoying a lot. It’s a fun and exciting diversion from some of the more serious fantasy series I have been reading.

My Summary (5/5): Overall I am really continuing to enjoy this series. This was a wonderful fantasy adventure read with a lot of steampunk elements throughout. I enjoy how fun and entertaining the world and story are and really love the new characters introduced as well. I am excited to see how things wrap up in the third, and final, book. I would strongly recommend this series if you like fantasy adventures and enjoy some steampunk elements as well (airships, mechanical constructions, etc). This is a well done blend of steampunk/magic. ( )
