The Second View (The View from Here Trilogy Book) by Leon Stevens – Review by Roxsanne Lesieur.
The Second View by Leon Stevens
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Thomas and April return in this second instalment in the View From Here and this new adventure all starts with a text from April saying “I think I found it.” She is of course talking about the door, the door to the other world, ever since the last one was closed, they have been wondering what would happen to them now, they are very much still friends, but they have never forgotten the experiences they had beyond the other door.
Thomas goes straight to April’s house as soon as he gets the text and she cannot wait to tell him what she has found, so when she practically throws some papers with graphs and charts at him, along with some excellent coffee, she explains what she has found and why she thinks that it is a new doorway, as well as where it is and as they are both excited and the idea they could see their friend Flick again sets them into planning mode, so they book a trip, organise their supplies and head out.
The journey to the designated area is easy and uneventful, but as they enter the doorway, in yet another cave, they do not know what to expect when they get through to the other side, but they know whatever they find, that it will be another adventure, but what they do see is definitely not what they thought it would be, so a reformulation of the plan is in order.
Their motto of “expect the unexpected” is well and truly the order of the day, but what will they find this time round and will they be able to find their friend again? This is another dystopian adventure across a familiar, yet strange world where nothing is what it seems and knowledge is always on the horizon as you get sucked into exploring alongside the characters and being amazed at what is found along the way.
