Better than the first trilogy!

This second trilogy is starting out better than the first trilogy. The author really hit a home run with this book. It is wonderfully written, very descriptive, great plot building, kept my attention from start to finish. I can't wait for book 2 to come out! Thanks Melanie!

I think this one was even better than the first in the series, going to buy number three right now!

This is the second book in the trilogy, and I'm anxious for the third book to come out!  This book is a classic good vs. evil, with many twists and turns to arrive at the end.  Characters in the book are not always what they seem, while others are exactly how they're portrayed.  I liked these books better than the books written by Dan Brown; they do require a suspension of reality, but are much more realistic.

I waited on this book because I wanted to know who the cheater was and it did just that! This part was better than the first because it dealt with the present day & showed how each character went about life after the original text. I think with all the chracters went through in this book, it could've been it's own book. It was a good read, well written, and had a far more better then the first book. I was satified, but not something I probably would've read if it weren't for the first book.

I thought this book was better than the first, it continues the adventures of a great character. The authors writing got better in this one than the other and even though some events are out there,it has more feesible events than one or two in the last.

Don't listen to the nay sayers the descriptions are fine! It keeps you on the edge of your seat and I could barely put it down!

Note it is a young adult book probably age 15-16 and up!

--Warning: If you haven't read book one, read no further!--

TORN is book two of a young adult fantasy trilogy that's part romance and part coming-of-age. It's set in Minnesota, which is an odd place for trolls to live. Things aren't going well either. The Trylle and Vittra  are on the verge of a civil war. In the meantime, Wendy is working with Tove to improve her abilities while lines are drawn between her and Finn.

Book two is full of surprises. Loki Staad being a major one. My major complaint isn't with the editing, but that the story started out too slow. I was midway through before becoming totally submerged. Once that happened, I couldn't stop, even when book two was finished. I quickly started reading book three.

Bottom line is Amanda Hocking is a heck of a storyteller. This is an addictive trilogy even with the editing issues, etc. I plan to read her other books as soon as I'm finished with ASCEND, which is book three of the Trylle Trilogy.

Book 2 was better than book 1 bucking the norm of a transition/ travel book in a trilogy. Looking forward to how this one winds up.

This is the second book in a great trilogy about friends, family, and a continuing love triangle between brothers..., and more.  It took me a long time to decide which brother I was pulling for.  The subject matter in the first book is a little lighter than the next two, but all are definitely worth reading.

My husband and I both enjoyed this trilogy better than the Diogenes one.  There were so many twists to the series that you don't see coming.  All three of the books were hard to put down and kept us up late just trying to finish them.  I will say that of the 3, the second book was a little lacking relative to the other two.

Excellent trilogy! Better than 50 shades and oh so engaging. It was tough for me to put down the book. The character development and the story is very well integrated. I'm now looking for follow up stories of other characters in these books. Two thumbs up!

I enjoyed this book better than the first. There were many twists and turns that kept me wanting to read on!

I liked both books but this sequel is better in my opinion than the first in the series. I usually like the first book better in any series generally, so the fact that this series is reversed for me is interesting.  It means the IMHO that the author is getting better in the writing and not just creating books to "fill-in" a series.

Loved it!!!

This book was even better than the first, and I can't wait for the third one to come out this month!

Aaahh!!!! So many feels....  Often the second book in a trilogy is not as good because it's more exposition, but that is not the case at all with Dyndaer! It takes off running on a new adventure, teasing us with Branimir's disenchantment with Dorofej, and introducing us to new companions which I liked far more than our previous companions, and turning the tale on its head!

I absolutely love Adamus, one of the new companions. He is certainly the character I most relate to in this book, though Sulana is beginning to grow on me.
There were a few things I struggled with, including word choices the author made which left me scratching my head. Yet, this did not change the fact that this is an awesome story line, and I cannot wait to dive into the last book in the series, Maharia!

This book was so much better than the first.  By this point you know a lot more about the characters and why/how they relate to each other the way they do.  This book had some "turn up the air conditioning" sex scenes in it but the main draw for me was the relationship that continues to grow between Eva and Gideon, including the things he does to prove his love to her.  I am really looking forward to the third installment in this series to see how it all gets wrapped up!

I liked "The Thing I Didn't Know I Didn't Know" (book 1 of this trilogy), but this book 2 is a lot better (in my subjective view). Russel is even more "adorable" in this sequel, and Kevin (his boyfriend) is equally likeable. This story has a lot more substance compared to book 1. I really recommend this book for people enjoying reading about the aspirations & struggles of coming of age and young adults (Russel & Kevin are early to mid twenties). I only wished that Mr Brander was legit. Fiona is a witch, and I live (in my mind) in the Utopian World that there must be places (somewhere on earth) or elsewhere, where there are zero evil beings. This expectation results in my always looking for fictional stories, where everybody allows (and assists if possible) everybody else to pursue their goals, as long as those goals don't cause any harm to others. If authors have to write evil characters into stories, I at least always wish that those evil ones suffer - WITHIN THE SAME NOVEL - a horrible fate, matching their "evilness" - because The Law of Attraction postulates, "That which is like unto itself is drawn".
I liked the final ending of this story, but the evil characters have not met their own demise; for that I am quite a bit sad.
