Now, some might consider me biased in this review, but honestly, having ANYTHING to do with this book was such an honor.  I'd met L. Leander online, just chatting about author stuff, and I agreed to read and review her first book, INZARED: Queen of the Elephant Riders.  From page one, I was hooked, and when I finished the book, I was terrified that there wouldn't be a second.So when I got the email stating that book two was in the works, nearly finished, in fact, I couldn't wait to get my grubby hands on it.  The moment I opened up the book, I was hooked.  It starts soon after book one leaves off, and takes the reader on a journey, tying up loose ends that book one left, with Inzared's family, both circus and biological.  It takes her back to her home, this time with her son, and shows the raw emotion as she connects with the people she grew up with and mourns the loss of her husband.I won't give anymore plot spoilers away, because honestly the book is worth reading to find out for yourself.  Inzared is such a rich character, and tugs at your heartstrings every turn of the page.  New characters are introduced, one in particular that piqued my interest and I can't wait to see if he makes it to book three.  God I hope so.  Pretty please?  With sugar on top!The book has a unique prose, Inzared having retained a lot of her Appalachian dialect, but you can see as the book goes on, just how changed she was by the circus, and for the better, in my (not so) humble opinion.  I'm definitely excited to see if a book three is in the works (again, pretty please!?) and this book gets a very well deserved five of five stars.  This is a series I plan to keep up with til the very end, and I think, if you give it a chance, you'll agree with me.
