Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The sequel to Chance Fortune and the Outlaws begins right after Book One's cliffhanger. The Outlaws are trapped on a remote planet, dubbed the Shadow Zone. Berryhill rightly trims the cast of characters down to a manageable five, something the first book did not do.
There is plenty of action - Minotaur statutes, spider-creatures, dragons, a pegasus. Once again, Berryhill believes in throwing a lot at the reader. The pacing is a bit uneven and character development stalls a bit. I found the author was mixing genres readily, combining post-apocalyptic, super-hero and fantasy without hesitation.
The book is fine and worthy of a 3-star rating, but it is hardly memorable. There is little being done in the "Super Hero" books for young adults genre, so the book tantalizes with possibility. There is room for a 3rd book, but no indication that one is coming out.
