The Arkadia Trilogy, Book 2

By Ann Marie Chalmers
Robyn Goodfellow,
the former Larry Creswell, has just
deposed the Goblin Queen of Faerie and freed his people from bondage.
But he’s
unable to face his true parentage or own up to the responsibilities of
being a
liberator. Robyn returns to Earth to Portland, Oregon, and begins living
bohemian and
trying to pass for human.
His first mistake is that Robyn’s rebound girlfriend
is an Angel. Actually she is Lucifer’s big sister Alisander, first
among the
Heavenly Host. History knows her as Fortune, or more recently, Lady
Luck. And
she’s wanted in Arkadia, for all the right reasons… and some of the
wrong ones.
This is the 2nd book in the The Arkadia
and it is the sequel to Blood of Eden. In
this book the reader can follow Robyn back
for an even more savage return to Arkadia, in which the question of his
own
true origins is revealed after a front-lines tour of duty in the war
between
Heaven and Hell.
This modern day fairy tale come futuristic paranormal
will look extremely tasty to some readers.
However the book itself is a confusing read of babble that is
hard to
follow. The first book in the series was
good and made the future books in the trilogy sound interesting but
this series
is turning out to be weird and not at all wonderful.
Erratic and uninteresting this is not a piece of work
that many will enjoy. There are readers
that will definitely like this style and story but it is not for the
weak at
heart or people who want to read a nice novel to relax.
This author obviously has a new writing
technique that is unique and a required taste that will either taste
lovely or
have you throwing it away after a few bites.
