Firewalker

HOLLY LILY-FLOWER! SHIT JUST GOT REAL! :O

(Updated with some non-spoilery favorite quotes at the end of the review)I raved about the first book in this series, Trial by Fire. It absolutely blew me away and I have been extremely excited for the last year for this book, the second in the series. I'm not sure if this affected my feelings about this book, or if I would have felt the same regardless, but it didn't - quite - live up to my expectations.**Warning** There will be spoilers and references to events in the first book. It can't be h [...]

Holy freaking cow! This book was just out of this world amazing. I thought the first in the series was great but this one was infinitely better. There are so many things I loved about it that I don't even know where to start. The world building continued in this book and it was fantastic learning more about it. Everything is so intricate and interwoven and I loved seeing characters from both worlds coming together and the interesting situations meeting their counterparts created. And I just knew [...]

OH MY GOSH. That ending. What. I can't. I just. WHAT. <-- my incoherent reaction to that endingFirewalker takes place nearly minutes after Trial by Fire ends. The plot thickens in this book as we learn more about Lilian's motives along with those of Alaric and the Outlanders. Loyalties and beliefs are questioned. Rowan and Lily are forced to make some tough decisions as Lilian's world gets closer and closer to war. Lily and her crew must hurry to figure out how to keep this world together bef [...]

The end! This is one of those you need to mentally prepare yourself for so you can survive until book three. Love Rowan. In fact, Tristan as well. Both are very swoonworthy guys. So interesting to listen in on the dreams of Lily's counterpart.

An Electronic Advanced Reader Copy was provided by the publisher via NetGalley for review.A sequel that is worth reading, especially if you're looking for more world building questions being answered. We find out so many more details about the parallel universes and a little bit more about Lillian. I finally got to understand why she does the things she did. Fascinating to read more through Lillian's point of view especially since it's the same character but with different circumstances. And the [...]

sehr gemeiner Cliffhänger

What the fucking fuck?! (Sorry for the language) THAT BLOODY ENDING THOUGH.Okay, so I absolutely loved the beginning, I thought it was interesting having Rowan experience our world and seeing his reactions to certain things. And I love that Lily was able to create a coven that was so well-suited for her. Though, the reason for leaving our world was super depressing. Then everything that happened once they returned to Lillian's world was absolutely crazy.I knew there was something more to the sha [...]

Disclaimer: I received this book from my friend Brianna who got it from the publisher. All the opinions stated are my own.This was one of my most anticipated sequels of the year and sadly it didn't live up to all my expectations. It was a good book with a gripping and exciting plot, however it wasn't as good as the first book. I'm very excited to see how this series will wrap up in the third book!

***Review posted on The Eater of Books! blog***Firewalker by Josephine AngeliniBook One of The Worldwalker TrilogyPublisher: Feiwel & FriendsPublication Date: September 1, 2015Rating: 3 starsSource: ARC sent by the publisherSummary (from ):Worlds divide, magic slays, and love lies in the second book of Josephine Angelini’s The Worldwalker Trilogy."You think I’m a monster, but my choices, as ruthless as they seem, are justified."Lily is back in her own universe, and she's ready to start a [...]

Still a fan of this series, but I didn't like this as much as the first book. It consisted of -- no real spoilers here -- a) Lily recovering physically from the events of book one, b) the assembly of a new Scooby Gang for Lily (okay, her mechanics) and then c) the revelation of why Lillian hung Rowan's father. By the end, things had definitely picked up, but overall there was too much wheel-spinning and banter and secret-keeping and not enough stakes-raising for my taste.Read more of my reviews [...]

WHAT. THE. HELL.

Read the full review at Please Feed the Bookworm pleasefeedthebookwormJosep angelini is slowly solidifying her spot as one of my all time fav authors. The stories she creates are always chock full of magic, fascinating characters, and some of the swooniest boys that I ever did see! True to form, the second book in her Worldwalker series leaves our cast enlightened yet at the same time on the precipice of some MAJOR changes. If you haven't read book one yet you should probably avert your little e [...]

This one cannot come soon enough!

Buddy read with AngeIt's impossible to review Firewalker without including spoilers for previous books in the series so if you haven't read Trial by Fire yet then you need to look away now. I will say that I'm really enjoying this series though so it's definitely one I'd recommend checking out if you enjoy YA fantasy.Trial by Fire was one of my favourite YA books last year so it's no surprise that I've been desperately waiting for the release of the sequel. I was actually so excited about Firewa [...]

This review appears on Happy Indulgence! Check it out for more reviews.I love the blend of witches and alternate dimensions in this series, but Firewalker wasn’t as good as the first book. A few scenes had me suspending my disbelief and the whole book lacked emotional connection.Connecting to the main character is a major part of enjoying a book, and even in the second book, I still couldn’t connect to Lily. She has Lillian, her evil alternate self inside her head, talking to her and showing [...]

3.5!Mi ha preso meno del primo libro, sebbene accada di tutto. Vedremo come finirà il tutto con il terzo.

Update: It seems the title has been changed (smartly) so I might give it a chance now.Um, no based on the offensive title. Change the title and I might be willing to give it a chance. Jesus, publishers didn't you take a US history class? Reading is suppose to be educational, not for dumb asses who think it's okay to use the title of a tragedy of a race of people for profit.

***This review has also been posted on The Social PotatoFirewalker was an anticipated novel but I ended up feeling 50/50 about it. On one hand, it is a fantastic follow up to Trial by Fire but it was also filled with romantic drama and I hated that.With this book, Lily’s Tristan--the one she used to love--is back in the picture. I was actually surprised by how well that was handled. I was happy that even though Tristan clearly had feelings, Lily doesn't feel the same way any more. Rowan also [...]

FirewalkerAs soon as I finished Trial By Fire, I really, really, really wanted Firewalker immediately. However, when I looked at the release date of September 1st 2015, the waiting seemed so long, and I hoped my patience would last. For those of you who have read Trial By Fire will understand because you will be feeling a similar emotion as me, especially with that cliffhanger. NowI just need to distract myself, to take my mind off the long wait. In time, it will come. And as soon as it comes, i [...]

That was a HUGE cliffhanger!!! AHHHH! I need the next book now! Overall I enjoyed the read. All I can say is, anything can and does happen in this one! And no one is safe.

4,5 Sterne.Ich mochte schon den ersten Teil der Geschichte um Lily und konnte es kaum erwarten, endlich den zweiten Teil in die Hände zu bekommen. Er hat mich nicht enttäuscht.Toll erzählt, tolle Charaktere und eine mitreißende Geschichte. Kurzum: ein großartiger zweiter Teil einer bisher sehr guten Trilogie, der mich persönlich bis in meine Träume verfolgt hat und das schaffen nicht viele Bücher.

Four stars: A good sequel, but it ends abruptly with a cliffhanger. After the battle, Lily and Rowan land back in Lily's world. Lily is burned badly and barely alive. Thankfully, Rowan is able to nurse her back to health. Safely nestled back at home, Lily should be happy to put the terrible events of Rowan and Lillian's world behind her, but she can't. Lillian reaches across the worlds at night and shares her memories with Lily via dreams. Through Lillian's memories, Lily begins to understand wh [...]

A lot of things STILL did not make any sense to me. My main question was, if Lily was allergic to the air in her own world and could only breathe properly in Lillians world, doesn't that mean Lily belonged in that universe? If so, why? And how was she able to do all those magical things in her own universe? It just sounded very confusing and unrealistic. I was honestly so bored while reading this I almost fell asleep multiple times. I just skimmed the second half of the book.There's a lot more I [...]

This is a great series and I can't wait to read the third book. I really enjoyed how Josephine Angelini expanded on the Woven.

Questa recensione è frutto di impressioni post lettura così a caldo che potrebbe contenere spoiler, per cui siete avvertiti.Perché? Perché??? PERCHÉ? Perché lui e non l'altro? PERCHÉ?Finire Firewalker e imprecare per dieci minuti chiedendosi PERCHÉ non me lo aspettavo proprio.Sono una che notoriamente adora i triangoli e non vedevo l'ora di leggere il secondo capitolo della Worldwalker Saga per vedere come si sarebbe assestato il rapporto tra Lily e Rowan e Tristan, ora che lei era torna [...]

3 StarsBefore I get into my review I want to disclose that this ARC copy was sent to me by the publisher and doesn't alter my opinion on the book in any way, shape or form.Firewalkeris the very anticipated sequel to one of my favorite books of 2014,Trial by Fire.So this was a little disappointing for me. Coming from book one with awesome characters, interesting world building and an epic romance, this just fell flat. Yes there are some things that are really good about it hence the three star ra [...]

Mi dite come cavolo aspetto un anno per l'ultimo?? Maledetto cliffhanger! Mi è piaciuto, anche se più di una volta mi sono inca**ata per il comportamento di qualcuno (non faccio nomi) e Josie, se nel terzo non sistemi tutto, mi arrabbio anche con te! Recensione sul blog: wefoundwonderlandinbookss
