Battle for Cascadia by Kenneth G. Bennett
4.0

Oh wow! Seriously, that is all I have been saying since I finished the book 5 minutes ago. I keep hitting the next page button on my kindle, foolishly hoping that if I hit it just one more time another chapter will pop up and I won't be left with that crazy, CRAZY cliffhanger! What an ending. I need to know what is going to happen next!

Ok let's back up a little bit. The first book, The Gaia Wars, ended on a cliffhanger too, but I had the second book so I didn't think much about it. The second book,Battle for Cascadia, picks up right where the first one leaves off. In the midst of a battle. There are some seriously cool action sequences in this book. If you love action and fighting scenes- you need to RUN not walk and get your hands on a copy of this series. Everything is so vivid, and so awesomely detailed that it just folds out so nicely in your head. There is a lot of fighting, and I think that this is an awesome book for boys that may be reluctant to read. I know they would love it.

It's really hard to find a book with a male main character. It was really refreshing to read about Warren, and to watch him group up and mature. I cannot wait to see how his powers are going to start to develop. And also to see some of those "temptations" come into play. I can already tell the next book is going to be totally epic.

It's a little like The chronicles of narnia and thor, mythology and some futuristic sci fi all wrapped into one. The center pointe reminds me of the bridge between the worlds from Thor, which was totally awesome!

I really loved Ina and Thaddeus in this book, even more than I did from the first one. Thaddeus is just so nice and cool. Totally someone you want on your side in a fight. haha. I felt so bad for him at the end of the book, I hope he changes his mind about some things in the next book because I like him so much!

Ok I'm trying really hard not to give spoilers for this book, so I'm going to need some of you to run out and get it so we can talk about it! So many things took me by surprise, and I want to see if they caught you guys off guard too.

Great characters, cool original concept and one heck of a cliff hanger. Kenneth, you need to get to work on that 3rd book right this instant mr! I want to know what is going to happen. I have a feeling I am going to like the 3rd installment even more than the first 2 because right at the end of this book, we discovered something so cool! I swear that medallion has tons of secrets, and I want to know more more MORE about it!

Have you read books 1 or 2? let me know!
