Merchant of Alyss
is the second book in Thomas Locke’s Legends
of the Realm series and I remember reading the first rather quickly and
enjoying it. This one carries on the
story nicely but it did take me a little while to get reacquainted with the
characters again. I think that is just
due to the book being a fantasy, though.
However, that being said as I delved deeper into the story I had a hard
time putting it down. Our hero Hyam with
his bride Joelle is recovering from his battles where he had lost his magical abilities
when a shipment of scrolls that only he has the ability to read is sent to his
allies. He also begins to have strange
dreams with a dragon involved. All of
this sets our hero, his wife, and their comrades on a very dangerous journey into
the unknown to find the answers needed for these new mysteries. Along the way they meet many dangers and please
do be prepared at what happens.
So if you like fantasy with elves, humans, dragons, monsters and more, I
highly recommend this series. It was a
riveting read for me even though I did not like some of the plot choices and
one particular character was getting under my skin. I am anxious for the next in this series
to see how things can be made right. I
received a copy for an honest review from Revell Publishing and the opinions
are my own.
