Island of Silence (Reprint) | Lisa McMann
7 posts | 21 read | 8 to read
The second book in the middle-grade dystopian fantasy series that "Kirkus Reviews "calls The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter, by "New York Times "bestselling author Lisa McMann. Following the life-altering events at the conclusion of "The Unwanteds," the stark world of Quill and the magical haven of Artime are now home to whoever wants to live there, whether they are Wanteds, Unwanteds, or Necessaries. In Artime, Alex Stowe and his friends continue to hone their artistic magical spells while welcoming newcomers, wondering how long this peace between Quill and Artime will last. Alex is stunned when Mr. Today comes to him with a very special request one Alex questions his readiness for, until circumstances offer a dramatic answer. And back in Quill, Aaron Stowe, Alex s twin, faces a very different path. Devastated by his loss of status after Justine s defeat and seething with rage toward Alex, Aaron is stealthily planning his revenge and return to power. Alex and Aaron s separate stories proceed with suspenseful pacing, colliding in a stunning climax that elevates sibling rivalry to epic proportions and leaves the fate of both worlds hanging in the balance."

I received this series as a gift I read the first book and was interested in reading #2

The barrier between the city of Quill and the magical world of Artimé is gone and now people from both places can go back and forth. The people of Artimé still have trouble forgiving those from Quill who attacked them. The people from Quill were still very shocked from the death of their leader and Artimé‘s existence.

Lsantin6 Summary continued...
Meanwhile, two mysterious teenagers arrive in Artimé and Aaron makes a revenge plan. What will happen and will Aaron be stopped?

Sounds like a current world leader's problem... I finished this book last night during a five hour insomnia jag, ugh. Second in the series. Very very good. My 11 year old son recently finished the series. I highly recommend it for boys this age (whom I find it harder to find books he'll like than for my daughter). And I find it very entertaining too although the formatting (double-spacing) is more for elementary students, a shame.

Readingismyescape Excellent series!! 7y

On to Book Two of the Unwanteds series. Here's an update on my reading list as I normally (pre-Litsy) only read one book at a time. Spent another hour or so today listening to Lionheart on audible while doing housework. Still about ten hours to go with that one. My nonfictions are on hold and Ocean of Storms (still excellent) on Kindle is saved for my hours of insomnia.

Raising a Reader: my son came flying into my room just now breathless that he'd found his first editing mistake in a book. A character's dialog was missing the open quotation marks. Don't you just love those special first moments?

This was a good book. I would recommend this book if you read the first book.
