Necrobane (Warden, #2)

by Daniel M Ford

[Quirky Cat]

Book Summary:

Once upon a time (not all that long ago, really), Aelis de Lenti thought she was being insulted or shunned when assigned to be the Warden of Lone Pine. Now, she cherishes her role in the village and would do anything to protect them.

Even if that means walking out into the dark and facing a monster before it can reach them. In her quest for answers, Aelis may have kicked off something much bigger than herself, and it’ll take everything she has to stop it before a war begins anew.

My Review:

Necrobane is the second novel in Daniel M. Ford’s Warden series, and I have SO been looking forward to seeing what happens next. The last book left us on a bit of a cliffhanger, leaving me all sorts of anxious and worried.

The events that follow are exactly what I was hoping for. It resolved everything from the last book while finding new and different ways to up the ante. In other words, it’s a perfect fantasy sequel.

I am sad that Necrobane is shorter than its predecessor. I feel like a few areas could have been explored further (like the whole conclusion). Maybe that’s just me because I want to learn everything about this world.

There are two major twists in this book. The first comes about halfway through, and it’s heavy. Good, but heavy. The second comes at the end and will certainly set the tone for the next novel, which I’m already looking forward to.
