My review for the first book in the series

My review for the second book in the series

BLURB:

Sam of Wilds faced the Dark wizard Myrin and lived to tell the tale. Granted, the battle left him scarred, but things could be a hell of a lot worse.

It’s not until he reunites with Morgan of Shadows and Randall that he realizes just how much worse things could be.

Because the scars have meaning and hint at Myrin’s true plans for Sam and the Kingdom of Verania.

With time running out, Sam and his band of merry misfits—the unicorn Gary, the half-giant Tiggy, Knight Commander Ryan Foxheart, and the dragon known as Kevin—must travel to the snowy mountains in the North and the heart of the Dark Woods to convince the remaining dragons to stand against Myrin. Along the way, Sam learns secrets of the past that will forever change the course of the future.

A reckoning is coming for Sam of Wilds, and there is nothing he can do to stop it.

TJ Klune is a wizard. A wizard of words. 

His writing captures me in a net where it's nigh impossible to stop reading before the story is over. The happy and funny parts are really happy and funny as they make a huge smile on your face and/or laugh out loud like a crazy person. But the sad? Oh, damn. It's even worse as it quite literally rips your heart out. Yes, the sad was necessary for the character growth and etc. but it doesn't mean that it was any less sad for me to read about.

There were some characters I predicted to be bad from the moment they showed up, but I didn't see a few of them being bad before the big bad reveal. Especially one of those characters later in the book. I love surprises like that!

Also, the mated dragons? Awesome! Their names? So unexpected, yet also expected. Their interaction with Kevin and Zero? Even more awesome!

I definitely NEED the next book as soon as possible.
