The Gleaning, Spellspinners Series #2 (The Spellspinners of Melas County)
There's not much I can say about this book. The entire book is reminding us that Warlocks are dark, Witches are light. Something must be done to save magic. Like the first it offers us a choose your own adventure style of reading. If you just read through with your choices then the book is quite short.
Like the first book, it's not a complete story. The twist is very predictable. The final battle, well, it feels like it was cut in half thanks to the twist - ending the book right when something is finally happening. Obviously if you want to get a complete story with this series you need to get all ten books (I think it is ten) at once and just read through. While the story does seem like it can be good, I'm done with the series. It leaves me feeling incomplete. As though I am just reading teasers for what might someday 8 books in really show off how good the story can be. I don't like being strung along with the promise of you'll get a real adventure later if just keep reading, and that is what this is. Sadly.
* Disclaimer: I received this book at no cost in order to review it. I offered no guarantee of a positive review, though I only request books I think I'll like because why read a book you think you’ll hate?
