In March, I reviewed the first
book in the Chronicles of Egg series by Geoff Rodkey Deadweather and Sunrise. If you
missed that review, you might want to look at it HERE before reading the review
of book two, New Lands, I’m posting
below.
When we last saw our hero, Egg, he
and his pal Guts have escaped from Pembroke, but they know well he is still
after them and the treasure map. They travel to the New Lands to the town of
Pella Nonna. Life turns out to be pretty darned good there as Guts turns out to
be an extraordinary guitarist and becomes very popular. Of course, that
popularity brings a certain amount of notoriety. That’s not a good thing for a
couple of guys on the run from someone as powerful as Pembroke.
There are too many twists and
turns to be believed in this fun, quirky second installment of the Egg
Chronicles. I really don’t want to tell too much of what goes on, because if
you haven’t yet read the first book (What are you waiting for????), knowing
almost anything about this book could ruin it for you. The only issue I have
with this book is that the ending is truly a cliff-hanger, and we have no idea
when the third book will be out. It hardly seems fair to make us wait!
The publicist has generously
offered to give away a copy of this newly released
book. If you’d like to win
this second book in the series, be a follower (if you are not one yet, check to
the right and join – it’s easy) and leave a comment. If you post the link on
Facebook or Tweet it or post it on your blog, let me know and I will give you
extra entries.
