A Book To Read

Title: The Jewel(The Lone City #1)

Author: Amy Ewing

Pages:373

3.5 stars

The Alcazar is the sequel to The Cerulean, and picks up shortly after the first book. Sera, Leo, and Agnes have fled Kaolin and are making their way to Pelago where the mysterious island Braxos and the tether awaits.

Like it's predecessor, this book is a fairly easy and engaging read. It's not super fast paced and it's not slow, but it's interesting enough to keep you going all the way to the end. I actually feel we don't get to spend as much time with the characters in the sense that they grow and develop, but I would have really liked to see more of it. Everything is also a little too easy.

The best part is actually what's going on in the City Above the Sky, the secrets that Leela is discovering. I enjoyed her parts for more than anyone else's even though I really liked all the characters. The two villains, although that's not the best term for them since I don't see them as particularly villainous, are multi-faceted.
