Relation In Pursuance Of Books Island of Silence (Unwanteds #2)
Second book in the middle grade dystopian fantasy series, Unwanteds. The battle is over. The magical barrier between the dreary land of Quill and the fantastical world of Artimé is gone. Now residents of both places are free to mingle, but tensions are high. The artistic warriors of Artimé struggle to forgive those in Quill who condemned them to death, while the Quillens attempt to recover from the shock of Artime’s existence, the loss of their leader, and the total collapse of their safe, orderly world. 14-year-old Alex Stowe has recovered from his physical wounds since his death-defying role in Artime’s victory, but his confidence is shattered. He battles self-doubt after Artimé’s beloved mage, Mr. Today, makes a stunning request, which is further complicated by the mysterious arrival of two silent, orange-eyed teenagers. Meanwhile in Quill, Aaron is devastated by his fall from grace and seething with anger toward his twin brother Alex. Spurred by rage, Aaron recruits a team of Restorers and devises a masterful plan of revenge that will return him to power… if no one gets in his way.Specify Books Conducive To Island of Silence (Unwanteds #2)

What a fabulous sequel! Island of Silence picks up right where The Unwanteds left off and dives right into a plot line full of action, betrayal, chaos, and suspense. I swear Lisa McMann's writing gets better and better with each book. Every time I read her newest release it becomes my favorite Lisa book because of that. This time around I really liked how she not only told the story, but how she allowed me to understand the motives that drove the two brothers to make the choices they did. It wasI loved this book, maybe even more than the first in the series. In this action-packed second installment of THE UNWANTEDS series, we see more of the fantastical worlds of Quill and Artime and how their inhabitants deal with each other in the aftermath of the skirmish between them. I loved reading about the two brothers, Alex and Aaron and how they each navigate through their respective worlds. Alex's self-doubt and Aaron's false bravado are both well drawn and provide another layer of the
Super fun book. One of the better "middle" books in a trilogy. Loved the twists and turns the book takes and the magic is fun.Recap of book:(view spoiler)[Mr. Today wants Alex Stowe to take over Artime (the magical town). Alex says he's not qualified and doesn't want the big job, but trains with Mr. Today nonetheless. He creates a weapon called "heartattack" and is showing lots of promise. Aaron, Alex's twin brother, meanwhile plans to take over Quill. His team wants all the Necessaries to come
There are moments of awesome - I can see why my 12 year old neighbor loves and recommended the series. But, even more than the first book, mostly this didn't hold together for me. I just can't suspend my disbelief (and I have a very high "suspension of disbelief" threshold.) The magic doesn't make sense. (view spoiler)[The fact that they have a water shortage is ridiculous. They've had fifty years to figure out how to desalinate water. It's called condensation. How come in book one, economics is
We often don't know what we're made of until we face some crisis or our backs are pushed against the wall. We can fantasize all we want about what we think we will do in this circumstance or that. But we never know. The reality, when it happens, and our reaction to it, can be worse than the fantasy. Or better. Also, in a crisis, the temptation is to think about all we've lost, or are in the process of losing. It takes some time to begin to make the shift of concentrating on what we don't have to
THERE IS MORE?!THERE IS MORE!I THOUGHT THAT WAS A PEGASUS BUT IT'S MY BABY, SIMBER. Simber, my darling, I'm coming! Just wait a little longer! D:Oh my god that cover makes me want to cry from its beauty.I AM READY FOR THIS BADASSERY.
Well, not as good as the first book, but not bad either. It is definitely very much like the story of Harry Potter in the ideas of the story line, but definitely more...dystopian and its contrast all in one. The story continues and definitely leaves us completely hanging. It does broach the subjects of loss, curiosity, hatred, anger, revenge and left several unfinished tiny pieces of the story. I am still at a loss of words about what happens to Alex friends. I admit I am writing this review
