I've tried to remove any spoilers.The story pushes forward, two years into the aftermath of book one. Good or bad, none of them have it easy and there's quite a bit of conflict. As this is also multi person POV, we get an in-depth view into their turmoil. Because of the cast style of this fantasy, I'll highlight one.My personal favorite is Leoros and it continued into the second book. He's back on Earth and struggling to find his way back to Atlantia. He made a tough choice in the first book and its clear the decision eats at him. Throughout book two, he has to come to terms not only with his initial decision, but he learns a valuable lesson too. I would read for his journey alone, and look forward to more.I want to say that I felt the author's writing really improved, and I love seeing that as series progress. There was more show and a clearer world. I would still recommend you read the first book for the extensive back story, an advanced reader could probably read book two as a stand alone. Also recommended for mature YA audiences and up who love fantasy, lighter sci-fi, mythology, or a blend of them all.I received a copy in exchange for my honest opinion
