Hollow Earth by Amy Miles
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I received this ARC from Red Coat Publishing and the authors in exchange for an honest review.
The story continues and it’s a dire situation for Taryn and friends. I was excited to get this book in my hands and felt a bit subdued after the amazing first book I could barely put down long enough to eat/sleep.
This installment was mainly character driven, which is by no means a bad thing. I was just looking forward to more of the action and anticipation and the rawness of the characters’ emotions to have a greater part in this book.
The reader gets to know all of the characters very well and I did appreciate the various scenes with the king and queen that demonstrate so well how twisted they really are. It takes great skill to cause my blood to boil from reading about an unpleasant character, and these two certainly accomplished that.
I found the story itself was a bit too slow for my liking and with the changing point of view from one character to the next the reader gets to know more about the characters, but there was some repetition that I thought hindered the progression of the story.
Overall, it was still an entertaining story, I just made the mistake to continuously compare it to the first book.
