Review: Fabulous but a little low on the plot side

Aha! Here's where the romance begins! I admit I saw this coming but not in such an explosive fashion. I'm not going to say anything more than that because it is vital you read it without spoilers. ;) After the shocking events (read cliffhanger) at the end of "King Hall" we retreat to the King Cave Sanctuary. This poor protection dome becomes drama central - at some points I felt it was a little sopa pera-esque - just when you thought it couldn't get any more dramatic, BOOM - next level. This second book of the series focuses heavily on the relationships of the four prodigies and I didn't mind the focus. It fleshed out the characters a little more than "King Hall" and I enjoyed their weird interactions. However, if you were hoping on some development about the Com plot to kill Mystics it's not really here. There is obviously a larger political game being played but it happens outside of the narrative we are receiving. We get pieces of the story within the romantic focus but only drips and dribbles. "King Cave" felt like a book of two parts with a teaser to the next installment ("King Tomb" btw) at the end. Was I entertained? Hell Yes! But would I have liked a little more plot outside of who was sleeping with who and why? Yeah kind of but I'm thinking Dawn has a few aces up her sleeve waiting for book three. The ending is still a cliffhanger but not as bad as "King Hall." I am dying to read "King Tomb" and if you like fantasy/romance join me on the Forever Evermore series train!xxx Literary George
