Select Few, Book 2 By Marit Weisenberg

 

Select Few ***
Marit Weisenberg

I love the book cover. You would have to have read book 1 to “get” the cover art [other than it being a pretty cover]. It lends a bit of mystery and illusion, or if you want to get philosophical ;-), maybe the image portrays hope (butterflies) for a broken world.

Select Few” is the sequel to “Select”, book 1 (which fascinated and intrigued me – fabulous!). This book, while a great fantasy follow up . . . the first half of the book was . . . monotonous.
Where is the excitement? Where is the seat gripping suspense?
Again, this was a good book, BUT after the build up of the fantasy, the characters, the mystery, the fantasy, suspense and exciting events of book 1 . . . . this book was like a child's Merry-go-round vs the screaming roller coaster of book 1.

This book just limped along to a small firecracker pop at the end.

Definitely read book 1 “Select” first or you will not understand all the dynamic relationships between the characters in this story.

I usually write longer, more enthusiastic book reviews..... I'll try to do better next time. ;-D

Thank you netgalley for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
