Serial novels are making a come back in 2013, and author J.H. Glaze has successfully jumped on the tracks and is steaming ahead with Episode II of his Rune Young Adult Serial Novel. It seems like only yesterday that I was drawn in by Episode I: Awareness, and here we have Episode II: Nemesis ready, with Episode III in the works I hear tell. A serial novel, will have times when it will slow down, and others when it will speed up. Rune gives you both the fast-paced action, and the slow steady back story that is needed to make the tale complete.Our characters spend Nemesis learning more about the history that surrounds what has happened to Jacob. We are introduced to a new character, who Glaze has given a unique set of characteristics, making him a well crafted addition to the story. Awareness brought us action, fast and furiously, Nemesis brings us the steady flow of the calm before the storm. Yes, I can almost guarantee that there is a storm of action coming.Alas as the #opinionatedreviewer I generally find something to be picky about, thus 5 Hearts are so hard to receive from me. Nemesis, left me wanting something. Not more action, but more information. Personally I felt that some conclusions were found too easily, too quickly. Maybe this is a deliberate plot device though, and that would be great! J.H. Glaze always like to keep his reader guessing until the very end.
