The Traveler: Chimera Revolution (The Book of Eleanor 2) by Shannon Nemechek – Review by Jennifer Gordon

The Traveler: Chimera Revolution by Shannon Nemechek
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Having read the first book in the series I was looking forward to this second book and I was not disappointed, like book one it took me on an epic and exciting adventure through time. This book does continue on from the cliffhanger ending in the previous book, ‘Chimera Rebellion’, however it does provide a ‘Where we Left Off’ chapter to begin the story. This time Katie and Colm are taken on a trip through time to 1779 Savannah, in the midst of the American Revolution. Here they enter a world of spies and magic, and also come face to face with an old foe. The couple still have the book and are still protecting it and to help them with this task Katie finds a tutor to help her learn magic. When an ancient friend appears and seems to guide them, they must decide if he really is a friend. Meanwhile Colm is still battling with deciding which side he is on and must confront his great-great-grandfather to convince him that life without Eleanor is possible. Colm tries to get his ancestor to fight on the right side of history but without revealing the future it’s a difficult task. This second journey seems to be even more dangerous than Katie and Colm’s previous one and they must not only protect the book but save themselves, and stop the prophecy becoming true.
This is a fast paced novel which took me on an exciting journey back to the American Revolution. The storyline is full of adventure, suspense and drama along with a little romance, all of which had me hooked. I felt immersed in the story and I loved the main characters, Katie and Colm and how their relationship changed and developed throughout the story. This is a great read and I am now looking forward to book three in the series.
