Fathomless Fire

You may remember my review for the book Shadow of Malabron last year.I certaily did remeber the book and I always checked the internet to see whether the second book has finally come out.After 4 years since the first book was published the second book has finally come out.Fathomless Fire is a book written by Thomas Wharton and it was finally published in 2012 to my great delight.

The High and Low
.Characters who were only a minor character in the last book becomes more important and likable.

.Most of the main characters in the first book were seriously underplayed
.The story felt less adventurous and the book's ending never reached the satisfying conclusion of the first.

Quick Summary
Will has finally reached home but he felt empty inside and he also felt worried of what was going to happen to his friend in the realm so when one day he received a message saying one of his firends will fall he quickly decided to go to the realm again.Will sneaks out at night and somehow managed to go to realm one again.Rowen is now learning from her grandfather on the art of weaving but learning that is a very dangerous thing indeed because everytime you pull the strings of the stories the shadow king notices you and you might get stuck in the weaving yourself..............................................................That's all I guess

The Conclusion
I have to say that I felt seriously dissapointed by this book.You probably remember on how I praised the epicness of the story,the great characters and it's exceptional ending and as you might have read from The High and Low almost none of the things in this book could have reached the level of the first book.Yes the characters were great not to mention some appealing not so new characters but the authour seriously ignored most of the other main characters from the first book especially Freya.While the story was good it never became what the first one did which was a great children fantasy epic.The ending never did feel as great as the first.The first ending made me feel contented on what happened I don't even have to read the other book since in some way the series could just have ended like that but this book ended in the way of most fantasy series.A cliff hanger ending trying to be dramatic. Don't get me wrong Fathomless Fire is indeed a very nice book but it could have been so much greater.
