The Story.....The saga continues....Emma is now a powerful witch. Though she has not got her full powers yet, but she has come to terms with her being a witch. She has reunited with her birth mother. She is relieved to find out that she was very much loved by her but due to circumstances she had to be given up.Her love life has changed. She could not forgive James for his betrayal and has fallen in love with Simon. [ I wish real life was so easyJ] But to give her credit, she had always loved Simon.The Wicked are still after her. This time with more force and magic. Everyone who is coming in contact with her are either dying or falling in love with her.[ James, Cannon....] But are The Wicked only problems looming in front of her? Or is there someone in their own camp who is trying to harm Emma?My View on The Talisman....Though Emma has emerged as a witch, but her powers are not fully shown. She uses her power only when she is angry or trying to protect a loved one.There is some action in this book. A fight between The Wicked and Emma. Emma is mortally wounded and it is at this point of time The Talisman is introduced. Actually I rather loved it. The sudden twist. We know Emma is The Amulet but who is the Talisman- James? Simon? Or Emma's.........? [ J ]The second part is more action oriented though I really wish James and Emma both had more part to play.[ magical part]. What I found different in this series that evil side has also been given emotions. Not only evil, ugly feelings but tender ones too. Love, yearning for a loved one, fear and many more. They are not some monsters out on a killing mode. This makes the series a gentle and a happy read. You can concentrate on the love story without gulping down your bile when some one is sucking out blood.You can see the full review in the blog The Book Club :[...]
