Actual Rating: 3.75/5According to the overall reviews, I should have enjoyed this book far more than the first one - but I didnt. It was a great story all around but there were a few times I got a little bored and it almost felt as if someone else were writing the story then.A little annoyed with Raed at the end too... like.. d00d....Review brought to you by OBS staff member Heidi This is the second installment of the Book of the Order series by Philippa Ballantine. We are re-introduced to Deacons, Sorcha Faris and Merrick Chambers, who are sworn to protect everyone from the geists or spirits of the world. Sorcha and Merrick have been pretty disappointed with the jobs they have been assigned as of late and they have given them no real challenge as their superior has made sure that these cases have no true geist activity. So
a solid sequel. I would still like to learn more about their magic system though.
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 liked this book but I can't really say why it didn't grab me the way the first one did. I am hoping the next one will regain the groove.
Originally posted at WickedLilPixie ReviewsI was fortunate enough to move from the First Book of the Order novel Geist right on to Spectyr so everything that had been created in the first book was fresh in my mind. Even so, I had to sit here and blink for a while to figure out how to even summarize my impressions. This book was so good that I really had no idea how to start a review for it. I hemmed and I hawed over it, but here I go.Sorcha Farris and Merrick Chambers leave their Mother Abbey
