Scent of Magic

A really good story, sometimes very basic, but all in all a good easy read.

3.5 stars
Really enjoyed this book.

This is the second book in the trilogy. I'm excited to read the last book but, also... not. Don't get me wrong I absolutely loved this book I just thought something was missing. It really did seem like a middle book, setting the reader up for grand excitement in the finale. I think I just wanted more from this one.

The more I think about it, the more my thoughts go back to how there was still no real explanation of time period, this is like a weird alter universe where people travel on horses and sleep outdoors yet, have silk pajamas and advancements with metal. I don't mind too much but, sometimes I felt confused.

Also, I missed the Kerrick and Avry moments... really missed them. Honestly, I missed the whole group interactions.

I'm hoping for a great end of the trilogy and I'm excited to know how it ends.
I'll miss Tohon. Damn it, I hate when I like the bad guy.... hopefully he makes another appearance.

I'm really tempted just to finish this trilogy up but, I've got other books that need reading!!

Honestly couldn't handle the story anymore. I got to the last two chapters and decided it wasn't worth it. Made me really sad because I love the author and the premise was interesting, but the love story just grated on my nerves and drove me away. Still looking forward to her expanding Study and Glass series, though.
