Trouble in
the
Anna del C. Dye
Reviewed by Ashley Merrill
Just like the first book in the trilogy, my attention was glued to the pages of this book. Not thinking it possible, Anna del C. Dye did an even better job with this one. Picking up right where she left off with the first one, I found myself falling more and more in love with the characters.Adren is now married to Dellin, her soul mate. They are living in Lothia, the elf city. Now that Adren knows she is part elf, she really feels as though she belongs. Even though the fighting is done, it is in Adren’s blood, so she happens upon a few pupils who are dying to learn how to fight. These secret meetings are kept under wraps because not many people know that Adren is the Silent Warrior that everyone has heard about.
All is well in Lothia, but not for long. It just so happens that most of the troops are away from the city practicing with warriors from other lands, in case there ever comes a time when they need to unite and fight again. Lothia is a very peaceful place where fighting does not occur, so security is lax. Just as their defenses are down the most, they find that they are under attack and prisoners have been taken. The same men that had been vanished to a far away island after the fighting in the last book have found a way back and are looking for revenge.
Adren knows that Lothia needs all the help it can get with fighters because their main force is away. She calls upon her pupils to help fight. Anna del c. Dye hits her readers with another action pact adventure. The description of the fighting is amazing, the characters are heroic and the ending is wonderful. She does such a great job at creating Elvin characters that are so noble, honest and caring, that I can’t help but wish I lived among them!
This is a great book for people of all ages to
read and
enjoy. Not only is it a great story that you will want to read again
and again,
but it is also a teaching tool. It teaches the importance of protecting
one’s
people, staying true to yourself, respecting people regardless of who
they are,
and helping people when they are in
need. These are morals that should be
ingrained
in all children and adults. Anna del C.
Dye, whether meaning to or not, has set up an exciting story that
weaves these
teachings into her characters through and through. I cannot wait until
the
third book comes out!!
