The Haunted Realm

Blurb:

The Haunted Realm is the thrilling sequel to Young Adult Fantasy novel The Labyrinth Wall (Tweeted by Sean Astin from Lord of the Rings, Dante Rossetti Award Finalist, 5 Star Reader's Favorite Rated and Amazon Best-Seller). In this riveting continuation of the story, Araina again faces a series of seemingly impossible magical obstacles. As Araina and her friends search for answers about their Creators and their magical labyrinth world, their journey becomes rife with peril when Araina falls victim to illness. Despite heart-pricking losses in the labyrinth swamps, vengeful ghostly attackers in the Blinking Willows, and many other dangerous obstacles, Araina is determined to succeed. If Araina can't solve the mysteries of the haunted realm and find a cure for her sickness, she and her friends may never escape the labyrinth, or even live to try.

Review: 4 stars

The Haunted Realm is the second book in the Obsidian series. I felt this book was just as good as the first one...maybe a little better. It's an interesting world with an interesting cast of characters. I feel it is a unique story that a lot of people will enjoy. Araina is a strong character and goes through a lot in this book (yes she went through a lot in the first one too but it seems even more gets thrown at here in this installment). I like the fact that she is brave in the face of all the danger she faces. I would recommend both books in this series to anyone who enjoys YA fantasy and dystopaian reads.
