Comment On Out Of Books Spectyr (Book of the Order #2)

High fantasy without the completely unpronounceable names and with just enough technology, Spectyr continues the world Philippa Ballantine birthed in Geist and rachets up the complexity and suspense. You never know if, but hope for, the HEA. And, you aren't even sure which characters will survive or if they will survive intact. The characters always driven to survive, to rescue, to save don't and can't even trust the people they travel to rescue. It seems the trio can only trust themselves and a

4.5 StarsArgh! Wheres the next book? I need to read it now! So many things changed in this installment. The book isnt left on a cliffhanger, but, oh, I am dying to find out where the author is going with this. I am still gaping after turning the last page. Where do we go from here??As with the first book, Geist, we are treated to dense story development and layered character building. This time around Ballantines not bogged down by introducing the reader to various characters and the world as a

http://bastardbooks.blogspot.com/2011...Last year I was seeing a lot of positive reaction to the book Geist first of Books of Order series by Philippa Ballantine. I usually do a lot of research before deciding to buy a book, but I saw the cover and said "Oh, lions!" and thought it looked like it could be a very cool Urban Fantasy. I'm sure I'm not the only one that made that assumption (I hope I'm not).When the book arrived I realized that I was not reading an Urban Fantasy, but a secondary

Mom and I thought this book was well written, but it was not ment for us/ we were not dying to read this book. One thing that did annoy mom was how much the gang did not spend time together. The first part of the book mom and me found reasonable. Watching the gang how they were doing separately, and watch there threads slowly pull together; yet when their threads did intertwine they only spent what felt like a hand full of pages, and then they were all split up again. It just seemed to fast

I was looking forward to this book after I finished Geist, but this book is even a slower starter than Geist was! It took me longer to get into this book than it did with Geist. Somehow the story telling quality felt like it wasn't as good as it did with Geist... Anyhow, one thing remains certain, the story and world building is beautiful and vivid, if not even more intricate! I could easily imagine myself in that world... It's a frontier world of magic on the brink of discoveries... A lot of

The premise: ganked from author's website: Though one of the most powerful Deacons, Sorcha Faris has a tarnished reputation to overcome. She and her partner, Deacon Merrick Chambers, find themselves chasing down rumors of geists, but long for a return to real action. So they jump at the chance to escort a delegation sent to negotiate the terms of the Emperors engagement. Their destination: the exotic city of Orinthal.But a string of murders has Orinthal on edge, and Sorcha and Merrick are asked

Actual rating: 3.6598 stars. And a third.Uh-oh, the MacHalos seem to be suffering from a collective bout of acute amnesia. It turns out that none of us female Einsteins can remember why we thought book 1 in this series was lacking and badly written and a waste of wondrous potential. Wanna know what I think? (view spoiler)[ You're going to hear my opinion whether you want to or not, so might as well pretend you're interested in it. But hey, this is your life, fell free to squander it as you see
