What I love about The Sentinel’s Reign is that it doesn’t struggle from “middle book syndrome.” The plot is great, the characters are developing, and this doesn’t feel like just a bridge from book one to book three!
No one is safe in this book, and I’ve grown to care for these characters, so I was on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen to them. There’s still room for these characters to develop, and I think that will make a good third book.
I love Suzanne Rogerson’s writing style. I feel like I was drawn into the story, and I became attached to the characters. The events from the first book were intricately woven into this story, making it easy to dive right back in.
I enjoy this series very much. I’m looking forward to the conclusion!

(Audiobook)
With Calissa initiated as the Sentinel, life on Kalaya is good for Tei and the exiles. But the villainous Rathnor has other ideas and Tei faces further challenges if she and her friends are to keep the peace and hold on to the magic. Rumours of a spy in their midst doesn’t help matters and Brogan comes under scrutiny as doubts are cast on his loyalty.
Expertly narrated once again by George Ellington, this is the second book in the Silent Sea Chronicles trilogy and follows on from the events last time. As with the first book, the author’s descriptive skills are on top form, creating vivid landscapes which work well as a backdrop for her characters. What I liked this time around was the way we get more of an insight into each of the characters (such as the curious dynamics in Tei’s developing romance), and though the plot is less action-packed than before, there’s enough to keep readers wondering what’s going to happen next. Generally, I’d say the book is more of a character-driven story than plot-driven – the plot itself didn’t always keep my attention but the strong emotions inherent in the characters really are the best part of Ms Rogerson’s writing.
Another enjoyable book that (for the most part) held my attention and I’m sure will thrill lovers of epic fantasy.
The action kicks up as lives are threatened and lost, friendships are stretched to the limit, betrayal is running a muck and endurance is tested. There are so many separate pieces of the puzzle that is slipped into place that it is exciting yet tortuous as this author weaves it all to completion. We see the strengths and weaknesses as each character is tested and tried, as each reaction from actions is revealed. It is an emotional action packed read that will have you soaring one minute and the next plunging into despair.
This author pulls all of the strings and she plays with you like a cat chasing the red light. Just when you think you have figured it all out you are plunged into another twist. I have absolutely loved this series and this author show snuck up on me but has me hooked from the first page of the first book. You could stop here but why would you? This author has proved that this is definitely a series worth exploring with characters that are strong and resilient, female characters that don’t falter but use their minds and hearts to get the job done. I can’t wait to see where she takes us in the next book because the threats to their life are by no means done.
The second book of the trilogy continues the story of life on Kalaya, and is another great book from Suzanne Rogerson.
The Sentinel’s Reign moves at a slower pace than The Lost Sentinel, but still has plenty of action.
The characters we met previously continue to develop, grow, and adjust to their new circumstances.
Suzanne Rogersons world building and descriptive writing ensured that, once again, I could always see where in the world I and the characters were.
I have become attached to many of the characters within the pages of the Silent Sea Chronicles and am looking forward to reading the final instalment.
