PDF via author free for honest reviewWhen I was asked by the author to read this second book it took a lot for me to say yes.  I didn't like the first one at all, so much so, I never did finish it.  I just found the writing to be all over the place and a lot of nothing happening.  However, I like to give the benefit of the doubt to any author, so when asked to read this second book in the series I said I would give it a try.  I must say that the author has grown a lot in his way of writing since his first book.  I found this book easier to follow and understand.  It still seemed a bit slow to get started, but it was a needed slower start, if that makes sense.  What I mean by that is that the background given in that beginning part is important to getting to know the characters and such to make the book better.  The plot of this book was fascinating to me and I found I did enjoy reading it.  The characters were by far the best part of the book, they were so well developed and described.  This book had a lot of humor in it too through the characters that I just loved.  I found myself laughing out loud at the characters and some of the situations or stories told by them and involving them.  Being that I didn't finish the first book, I can honestly say that you can read this book without having read the first book and it will make sense.  Reading the first book may increase your interest in the book, but I found it to be enjoyable just the same.  I am glad I agreed to give this book a chance.  I got to see not only a good book, but I got to see how the author grew in his writing of this book too.  The whole Alaskan way of life was super interesting to me also, as I have a friend who has relatives there and who's family comes from there.  I could tell a lot of thought and research was put into the work of this book to make it great.I think anyone into witchcraft, Alaska, characters that seem real to the reader, Native ways and beliefs, and just a well written book would enjoy this book.  I am glad I decided to read it.4/5 Stars!
