Rating: 4 out of 5

Sacrifices is book two in Kiera's Quest . These books are aimed at tweens and up. I really loved book 1, Awakenings and could quite easily see it as a basis for a Disney movie.Kristy has such fun with her characters and the Witch is always a hoot. These are deliberately short reads. Short quests that Kiera and crew go on.This book has several different POV's and we are going back and forth between two worlds.I love me a vortex, there is just something fun about the word vortex.  We get introduced to some new characters and some fun twists.I would have loved Witchie poo to have been as outrageous as she was in book 1. She is still fun, but she was an absolute hoot in Awakenings. I wanted to stand with my legs strong and raise my chin to the sky and yell , 'Mwah ha ha haaaaaaa.'I was beginning to question young Zakk, he seemed to have wandering eyes in this book.Maddy gets some great air time in this book. I enjoy her character and she isn't a dummy. She can handle the truth!Terrence the dog is a fun and surprising character. I really enjoyed Terrence's scenes.I love Kristy's imagination, she has it in buckets. For short reads she does fill the pages with lots of fun and mayhem.Albatron, D'rogs, see-through bombs, dragon, vortex's , Witch, Googe the Witches side kick, Terrence the wonder dog, Joe, Mouse, Alex, Kiera, zakk, Uncle Tom and more have come out to entertain us. Even poo tunnels.....yes stinky , icky, poo tunnels.I could honestly quite easily see both of her books as much longer stories each or joined as one book. Put both of these books together and it would be a fun Disney kids movie.Kristy has a really cool way of writing a world kids and adults would love to be a part of.I am looking forward to more of Kiera's Quests.FAVE QUOTE:"Just give me a minute to dress.
