A while back I read the first book on this series and was just sucked by by Chad Leito's uniquely imaginative storytelling, now that "The Academy: Book 2" has been released I found myself doing the same thing. The second book in the series draws up back into the life of Asa Palmer as he continues to undergo brutal training by The Academy along with the other kids who have been abducted all over the world, still in the dark about what those in charge are really creating an army like no other for.Mr. Leito skillfully weaves new layers to this story and ups the ante as readers dive deeper into this complex story that mixes emotionally charged drama with action, adventure, supernatural elements and mystery. The writing is refreshingly original with a fast-paced tone, vivid imagery, strong dialogue and a main character that you feel compelled to know more about as Asa finds his worlds rocked all over again as his second semester at this nefarious Academy begins.Overall, this was an imaginative continuation to the series that had me eagerly reading from start to finish; it's left me wanting more and in anticipation of the next novel in the series. .
