Atlantis Quest was a great story with fantastic characters and story line. The only issue I ran across is the fact that I didn't read the first novel in the series.
I loved this book as much as I did the original one in the series.
Craw offered up another great fast paced story that had me clinging to the pages. And ready to see what would happen next to the awesome characters.
This story has some of the best characters that I have read in a long time. Each character is so well developed and described that I feel as though I am in the book with them or can see them.
This is the second story in the Atlantis Rising storyline. I enjoyed the first story, but I loved this story even more. I think it is because I now had a better understanding of the dewing and I love the introduction of Phoebe and Theron. I also love that we see the ghost Mom as more than an abstract or voice this time around! Another thing I really enjoyed was Alison becoming more confident in herself and what all that means. Her relationships and personality are a favorite of mine in this story.
This story should be read after reading book one because the storyline continues from book one and all of the history and introduction of characters will enrich book twos story and moments of tension. Many questions were answered in this book, but many big ones were not...aka what will happen between Ian and Alison, what did the ghost Mom mean about his own portal, and that note!!! Needless to say I can’t wait to read book 3.
Thanks NetGalley and Entangled Teen for the chance to read this book and share my opinions.
This is the second book in the Atlantis Rising series by Gloria Crew. In this one we get more of Alison and Ian.
Alison's life is trying to go back to normal, or as close to normal as it can get after vanquishing Sebastian. But before she gets too settled back in, the dewing have another favor to ask of her.
It seems that Nikki, her high school enemy has all the sudden gone missing. With Alison having been raised by humans, her thought pattern renders her invisible to the other dewing. Alison is just like any other human, but as a thought maker, she can join their minds to plant thoughts/actions in them, both dewing and human.
Even though it seem sort of crazy to send Alison on this type of task, you have to remember that she did go after the most dangerous dewing in the previous book. Alison is supposed to go and spy on the Truss clan to see if she can find out where they have hidden Nikki.
We get to meet Theron, a lovely new character that is being punished for his hacking skills. When Theron and Alison begin to become closer and closer, I sort of worried about a love triangle coming in to play, but we begin to get Alison's true feelings and thank goodness it did not turn into that. I really like Ian for Alison.
This is a great continuation the the first book. I think readers are really going to enjoy this next mission with Alison. The story flows really well and keeps your attention throughout the whole book. I am anxious to see what Gloria Craw has in store for us next!
This series is magical, we have amazing characters like Allison, Ian, Lillian, Theron, Luke and Phoebe. When Alison becomes the clan chief she makes decisions that change her life. In each book you find a changing event. Alison and Ian have a sweet romance, but would've loved it more if there was more into them. It is a series that could continue with all secondary characters, and hope it does.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. Thanks to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for the opportunity to read and review Atlantis Quest by Gloria Craw! Alison has now learned about her heritage from her biological mother and also about her abilities and now she's expected to rescue her enemy from a kidnapping. She travels to a ski resort and spies on the Truss family to find Nikki and any news about her kidnapping. Alison meets and stays with a distant relative, Theron. He tells her about her father's lineage and the story of how she was left with humans. Alison is given even more dangerous tasks to perform and help her people. Theron's gruff demeanor mellows as his familial relationship with Alison grows. They are good for each other. This second book of the Atlantis trilogy amps up the dangers, action and intensity of Alison's world while her responsibilities grow. 5 stars for this interesting fantasy adventure!
Read this one right after reading Atlantis Rising. Once again Alison is needed to save the clans. This time on her own pretty much. Spencer and Katherine had a different feel in this book than the first. You didn't like them very well in this one. Ian is not around as often as in the first, Theron is the main male in this one although not romantically. I liked his backstory and hope to see more of him. For still being a beginner with her joining power she was left on her own quite often and around dangerous people. Backup was nearby but still it seemed a bit off she was alone. Overall the story was good and flowed well and stead. I received a free copy for an honest review and this in no way influenced my review. Now on to the third book......
“Atlantis Quest” is a great continuation of an exciting YA paranormal series. Alison has vanquished Sebastian, and her life is returning to normal- or as close as she can get. However, the dewing have more to ask of her. Nikki, her teenage/high school enemy from the first book (who turned her over to the evil Sebastian), is missing. Thanks to being raised by humans, Alison’s thought patterns render her invisible to the other dewing- to them, she is just like any other human. However, as a thoughtmaker, she can join their minds to plant thoughts/actions in them, both dewing and human.
Although somewhat surprising to send a teenager undercover into a difficult situation (perhaps less so, since they sent her on a quest to kill the most dangerous dewing in existence in the last book), Alison has a new mission- to spy on the Truss, the clan which had formerly been led by Sebastien, and try to figure out where Nikki has been hidden. We get some new characters, including Alison’s (sort of) cousin Theron, who is being punished for his hacking skills and happens to be living near where the Truss are meeting. Throughout the book, we, like Alison, can’t help to warm up to Theron who is a really great character all-around.
Despite a semi-slow start to the book, the pace picks up to soon become just as delightful as the first. We learn a little more about the dewing and their history as well as the new cast of characters/clans in this book. Once again, this book manages to have a whole story without being too fast-paced and giving a cliffhanger (although we are left with a pretty big teaser for the next book at the end, the main plot is wrapped up nicely). Alison starts to get her bearing amongst the dewing and think about what she wants out of her life/what she thinks is right (not just what Ian’s clan say). We see her grow during this book quite a bit as she ponders life and love.
I was worried there was going to be a love triangle with Theron, but luckily (for people who don’t love the love triangles), no such thing happens. The romance is still there between our favorite couple of book 1, but it takes a backseat to the espionage and excitement of her quest in this book. Overall, it’s a really fantastic addition to the series, and not just filler (as second books sometimes are). I am really looking forward to continuing with the next!
Please note that I received a copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley. All opinions are my own.
Atlantis Quest is the second book in the Atlantis Rising book series. I found that this book quickly picks up from where the first book left off. I did not have to go back and reread the first book because this book pulls you right back into the story. This book series is a little different than most series I have read recently and I found that to be refreshing. I recommend this book if you are looking for a series that will pull you in and having you trying to figure out what happens next in this page turner that you will not be able to put down.
