Hidden Huntress: Malediction Trilogy Book Two


No, not those kind of trolls! It's also not the, "I'm going to eat you for dinner" kind of troll either. Picture a more human-like and friendly looking group of trolls (although some are vicious).
I can't rant and rave enough about the first book in this series. It's one of my favs. I'm going to be honest though, I think this book is going to piss some people off. It even kind of pissed me off. This book was completely different. The situations and characters (behavior) were very different. My favorite characters weren't even around each other for most of the book. I HATE that. Nothing is more obnoxious. Consistency is key for me and I felt like this story wasn't consistent with what I read in the previous book.
So, the story turned dark and things (characters) got a little weird. There were times when I just wanted to give up because this was not the greatness that I remembered from book one. Things just seemed to drag on and I even found myself speed reading. I felt like this part of the story could've been told in half of the book or less. It was the characters that I found the most maddening though.
But...once I got to the end, I understood where the author was taking the story. All of this was a setup to what I think will be an incredibly epic third book. Things are about to get crazy and I CAN"T WAIT!
