Really enjoyed this second book of the series.
This is a good series, with unique ideas and very likeable, believable characters. Plenty of scheming, interesting tech, action and a dash of romance. Very well written and paced too, no dragging sections.
One does need to read the books in sequence because the back story is to the characters is rather vital.
Interested to see where it goes next!
I received this as an eARC and am happily posting a review.
A pet peeve I have with a lot of YA fiction is that the characters seem to get kidnapped a lot, so when one of the main characters started planning her own kidnapping, I had to chuckle.
Healer takes place where Truth Seer leaves off. Because of events at the end of Truth Seer, Inara’s future looks completely different than she had expected and Abe offers her a job working with his business to rescue orphans who have been captured by gangsters. Sounds straightforward enough until the taggers reemerge and start wreaking havoc again. With Inara’s abilities weakened and Abe in denial of his own, they must rely on their friends’ hilas (supernatural abilities) and work together to restore justice to Cairo. As if anything is ever that simple…
I loved how Inara has learned from her past mistakes and tries so hard in this book to see the good in people. In book 1, her gift of seeing whether someone was telling the truth led her to judge those who lied, rather than realizing the reasons and the meanings behind the lie. Now, she is trying to find good in people for whom there may be little or no redemption. But it’s fun because I can relate to this. It’s a struggle when you value truth to not judge those who lie but also to honestly evaluate the person without being biased in any direction. Her relationship with Abe was put to the test as well. Truth matters. But how and why it matters is often more complicated than we think.
As always, there was a twist at the end and I can’t wait to see how this saga reaches a conclusion. I’ve already started reading book 3. I received a free copy of the book from the author and have reviewed it willingly.
This one produced more emotions in me and kept me flying through it as fast as I could. I LOVED this book!
Overall rating: 5
After reading book one , reading book two fell into the ‘have to read’ category and this author delivered! The action flows non stop and these characters bring new meaning to bravery. Just love this storyline ! This series is wonderful for both young and mature fantasy lovers! I enjoyed being kept in suspense over Imara and Abe’s abilities.
