The Nameless Land: The Witch Roads, Book II

By Kate Elliott

Book Overview

Surprising betrayals, surprising alliances, and surprising discoveries of heritage abound in this energetic sequel to The Witch Roads.

When the royal party finds themselves in a land they never believed they could access, it will take all of Prince Gevulin's (admittedly impressive) diplomatic skills to forge a coalition with an unlikely group of would-be allies.

Meanwhile, as Elen mourns her lost love, an unwelcome visit to the land of her birth brings back the traumatic memories of the childhood she shared with her sister.

And a surprise visit from an unwelcome family member threatens to derail the plans of multiple opposing factions.

Loyalty cannot be demanded, only won

Fantastic!

I absolutely loved the Witch Roads and was enthralled with the story and needed this second book right away after that ending! Thankfully this book starts up right when the Witch Roads ends (so you should probably read one right after the other). I also loved this one, though the first half was not as easy to read due to the absence of the one character that I adored (besides Elen of course). Though it still is a fast read because the action just does not stop with the prince following the path of the one who is trying to kill him off, and Elen is dragged along for the ride now that the prince knows her secret and has his own plans for her. It was a bit jarring at times with the prince (who is definitely different than the haunt) and I did not like him very much. The story is rife with betrayals, secrets, intriguing mysteries (especially since in this book we get to travel through the pall to the lands where Elen's childhood as an atoner lived), royal plots, but also strong friendships and bonds that last through anything. Plus it was cool (and sad) to learn more about Elen's past and her mysterious powers. This was a cool world to visit (as long as I get to travel with Elen and the haunt) and while this is toted as a duology and does end nicely, there are still many loose threads and questions that I would love to have more books written in this same world (which is so big and full of many possibilities). I am very glad I got to read this though and do highly recommend this duology and that Kate Elliott is a great author who weaves wondrously interesting worlds.
