Reviewing Book two in the Keys of Candor Series, Sea of Souls by Seth Ervin and Casey Eanes.
Hello again everyone! I have missed you dearly and I have been eagerly awaiting the second review phase! So this time will work just like last time, I will be reviewing one chapter per day for the next 28 days. I was right about the fact that this book felt thicker than The Red Deaths. It is longer than I anticipated it being so there will probably be a few days where we postpone the reviews, mainly at the end of the month when I will be out of town from the 31st-5th but we will worry about that the closer we get to those dates.
For now lets just enjoy the read. Grab your copies and read along with me!
(Note: I will review The Red Deaths on Amazon but I have never bought anything on there so I have to make a purchase before I can review it. -_- silly anti-spambot protection.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~30-ish minutes later~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seam you twisted little monkey of a man, what have you done?!
Seriously, what?
So a mild refresher of what happened at the end of book 1, if I recall correctly this is what happened.
Kull sacrificed himself so that Willyn, Grift and Wael could go free. Currently everyone except Kull is alive and well. Luken is MIA at the moment and might be dead but they never found his body so I refuse to believe it.
In this chapter we got to see the aftermath of the failure to protect the keys.
The Great King Seam was a real schmuck in this chapter and not just to the humans but to the Serubs as well. I cant even begin to fathom how much stupidity/insanity it would take to command a supernatural being.
My favorite thing from Seam in this chapter is on page 2, this is the quote.
"Look at me." He whispered, almost tenderly. Kull refused, turning his head away. Seam growled, wringing his hand through the Kull's hair. "Look at me!" He screamed, pulling Kull's face forward.Did you see it? "Hand through the Kull's hair". Our precious Kull is now The Kull. That line had me giggling for at least 10 minutes. Not to mention that, that paragraph is all the Fujoshi/Fudanshi need to ship Kull X Seam. That is not a ship that I will personally be on but there is no controlling the Fujoshi/Fudanshi... Just ask the Supernatural fandom.
Okay, back on task!
This new Serub is intriguing. He is the one that Kull fought with back in the labor camp but he seemed hesitant to kill Kull, I don't think it was out of fondness for Kull but maybe displeasure with being ordered to do something to a mortal. Either way this Serub seems to have emotions so I am very interested in how he will change the interactions between Seam and the Serubs.
Kull got Expelled. Not from school but from the mortal world, I think. The description of this process was very pleasing, it was described in such a way that I was able to picture it in my head some what which brought me to the conclusion that Kull's soul was cast out of his body leaving a shell of human that is now Seams puppet. I could be totally wrong about that but that is the honest impression that I got.
This was a very good first chapter for the second book, I was very happy that it picked right up from The Red Deaths because there were so many questions with the way that ended. This makes the series feel like a story being told in at least three separate parts.
I know this is sort of short for an intro to a book but I wanted to have some room for this as well,
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!!!!!!Much better.
Dear Casey and Seth, Thank you so much for setting me up with Sea of Souls and for writing in general. It has been a long time since I have read a book with a unique and fresh plotline so it is very refreshing and encouraging to know that there are still stories to be told and that not everything has been done.
Thank you. ~Aki
