The Story
Hunted, Killed—Survived?
As the last Healer in the Fifteen Realms, Avry of Kazan is
in a unique position: in the minds of her friends and foes alike, she no longer
exists. Despite her need to prevent the megalomaniacal King Tohon from winning
control of the Realms, Avry is also determined to find her sister and repair
their estrangement. And she must do it alone, as Kerrick, her partner and sole
confident, returns to Alga to summon his country into battle.
Though she should be in hiding, Avry will do whatever she
can to support Tohon’s opponents. Including infiltrating a holy army, evading
magic sniffers, teaching forest skills to soldiers and figuring out how to stop
Tohon’s most horrible creations yet; an army of the walking dead—human and
animal alike and nearly impossible to defeat.
War is coming and Avry is alone. Unless she figures out how
to do the impossible ... again.
My Review
SCENT OF MAGIC by Maria V. Snyder's is the second instalment of the Healer series. This author has once again put forth such vivid descriptions, beautiful and captivating words that will not only draw you into the pages but also give us some wonderful characters that you will easily enjoy.
Maria creates sassy characters – strong main leads, and an
array of wonderful supporting characters to blend throughout this story. Her
characters are always filled with such depth; you cannot help but like them.
More so in this instalment as we see into Kerricks thoughts.
In Scent of magic we see Kerrick’s pov and also Avry’s which
was nice to see. The perspective of characters changed but also turned the read
into an interesting change for me the reader. We see both sides, and loving
Kerrick’s character this was an added bonus for me. The only thing I would have
enjoyed more of is more time with Avry and Kerrick, I found it was a little
short on the romance and page time - but none the less still enjoyed this story.
This story is jam packed with action, friendship and love,
suspense, dangerous liaisons, a little bit of romance for all the readers whom
enjoy a little heart flutter, and many emotions entwined within this
captivating world that Ms Synder has created.
The ending will leave you gasping for more with its shocking
cliff-hanger and have you eagerly flying to the net to find out when the next
instalment is due out loll.
A great second instalment into this series I can’t wait for
the next!!!!!!!!!!
