Secrets of the Sorcery War (Ruarnon Trilogy Book 2) by Elise Carlson – Review by Jenni Bishop

Secrets of the Sorcery War: An Epic YA Fantasy by Elise Carlson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars
Secrets of the Sorcery War is the second book in the Ruarnon Trilogy and Elise’s second book. It is a YA fantasy tale. The adventure continues on from the first book Manipulator’s War.
As with the first book it was hard for me to fully engage in the story because it was a bit choppy meaning the story didn’t flow as seamlessly as it could have. Elise’s is a very vivid storyteller however at times the story became bogged down with too much information. It is good to see that Elise’s writing has grown from Manipulators War and I expect that I will see more growth in the next book as she settles into her writing style and develop her storytelling.
Ruanon, Linh and the gang are back to sail the seas and to face off with a sorcerer-king Nartzeer. To find out if he is evil or not you will have to read it for yourself.
Elise has created intriguing LBGTQ+ all-inclusive characters. With the MC’s being asexual and nonbinary. This story has action and adventure, things that go bump in the night, murder and mayhem, myths and lore, assassins and magic, drama and sorcerers and more.
I look forward to reading the final book in the trilogy Land of the Clouded. If you love adventure stories, then take a chance on this YA trilogy.
