The Realmwalker Chronicles: The Pillars of Natura, Volume 2: Halen Paperback – April 12, 2015

I read Vol. 1 and was surprised by how much I liked it. So I was very excited to dive straight into Vol. 2. The continued adventures of Raine and Rennick Sherrill or should we say the Realmwalker and the Successor. We can not forget Seraph Kanias their mentor either, on this books journey to the Temple of Erta to find the legendary Sword of Angios. I found this volume to be a clear step above the first, a more polished story. The Characters in this book, as the first were fantastic. I was already able to sympathize with the twins and Kanias, and I am now fully invested in their adventure. The world building and the magic system (Lani powers) touched on in the first volume, are expanded on but I feel they are just the tip of the iceberg, and even greater things are yet to come. I am left feeling like I need to know more of this world and I hope everything is expanded on more in future volumes. Overall I have to say that the writing and pacing are taken to another level in this volume. I feel the author obviously grew more comfortable and hit his stride in telling this tale. I look forward to the next volume and cannot wait to continue Raine and Rennick's epic adventure.I was contacted by the author of this book and sent a review copy in exchange for a honest review. - mightythorjrs.wordpress.com
