REVIEWED by Chris for Between the Covers blog:
I read Anathema by Megg Jensen a few months ago, and upon finishing I couldn’t wait to get to Oubliette, the second book in the trilogy. Megg had created such a fascinating world in Anathema that I couldn’t wait to read more about it. I bought Oubliette right away, but had to find the time to fit it into my TBR pile. I am sorry I waited so long to get to it because it was just as fantastic as Anathema... and maybe a little more so.

"Oubliette" is an outstanding sequel to "Anathema." This book begins two weeks after the last novel left off and from the first page the mystery and intrigue begins.
I really enjoy the writing of Megg Jensen and she is quickly becoming one of my favorite writers. Why? Because Megg knows how to capture a reading audience from the very beginning and keep them enthralled to the very end. Additionally, she does not need a lot of verbage or novels to get the job done.

Although this is the second book in a series, the author does fill the reader in on some of the details that happened in the first book. I am pretty sure that if you would choose to read them out of order you will still fully enjoy this part of the story. Although so far book 1 is my favorite, so I highly recommend reading it.

Oubliette is the second novel in the Cloud Prohecy trilogy, following Anathema. Every now and then you come across a book that just hooks you, that makes you obsess a little over it. When you are reading it, you are in the story, and when it is over, you almost feel as if something is missing from yourself. That is this series for me. I love everything about it! Oubliette continues the story of Reychel, a former slave girl who suddenly discovers that her destiny is nothing like she had believed....more
I finished reading Anathema a few days ago and absolutely loved it so I wanted to start reading the second book in this trilogy right away. And let me tell you I was so NOT disappointed in Oubliette!
The book starts just a few weeks after where Anathema finished, and it doesn’t just slowly get back into the book… it dives headfirst into it! I don’t know how Megg Jensen does it but she has this ability with writing that just grabs a hold of you and wont let go!

Oubliette, the second book in the Cloud Prophet Trilogy had me from the very beginning. It had been a while since I had read the first book but this one picked right up from where Anathema left off.
Reychel is ported to the Southern Kingdom where she meets all new characters. She is no longer a slave but now someone who everyone is looking to as the prophet. Reychel has the gift of prophecy but is not able to control it. She is not sure who she can trust or who to believe. For all you Mark fans,...more

This book picks up right from where it left off and I feel like I could not get enough! Immediately, the reader is thrown into a new city, new people, and a whole new batch of theories coming at you!

I really enjoyed this installment in the series. Again, it was short, like the first one, but the author really did a great job putting in a lot of twists and turns. She writes enough in that I really don't know what to expect going into the third book.
The only thing that annoyed me about the story was how the dual couple thing evolved - with Reychel and Mark, and Krissen and Ace. It felt kind of contrived to me, and kind of high schoolish. It really smacked of that 'oh everyone has a boyfriend...more

Honestly, I do not even know how to begin this . . .
To say I was excited about the release of this book would be a complete understatement.
Release day! Oh Happy Day!
Book is loaded and ready to go . . I find myself, taking in every word and just letting it linger in my mind a moment before moving on to the next. It isn't long tho . . before the book lets me know it has other ideas for my reading pleasure. It grabs hold of me and just RUNS! I tried to slow myself down reading it, but I just couldn...more

So Oubliette took me a little longer to read than Anathema. It had nothing to do with the story, I think I was just trying to make it last longer.
Megg's second installment of the Cloud Profit trilogy starts off exactly where the last book ended. The action never ebbs and you become wrapped up in Reychel's world immediately.
There are so many twists and turns in Oubliette that it is hard to keep up. Poor Reychel has no idea who she can depend on and the list of people she can actually trust some...more

After the end of Anathema I was truly at a loss for where the story was going to go. I was expecting a lot of magical training sessions and discovering Reychel's gift. Boy was I in for a surprise. The plot just kept having twist after twist. Oubliette was definitely not a filler novel, like so many sequels are. Megg really keeps you on your toes with the unexpected.

I really enjoyed this one! Again I clicked my way through in one evening and I have to say that I was impressed with how the story developed. There was enough mystery and intrigue to keep me interested and we learnt more about the fantastic world that Megg Jenson has created.
Again, there were some editing issues. Grammatical errors, missing words, some weird sentence structure etc but it wasn't overly frequent and it didn't take away from my enjoyment of the story.

After reading Anathema, book one of the Cloud Prophet Trilogy, I couldn't wait to pick up Oubliette. I was eager to find out what happened to Reychel. I definitely wasn't disappointed.
Reychel has managed to escape her life of slavery, but she's far from free. She finds herself in yet another unknown place, with people she's not sure she can trust.

I loved Anathema (the first book in the series) so much that I could not wait to read Oubliette and let me tell you, Oubliette does not disappoint! There is just something about Megg Jensen’s writing that keeps me intrigued until the very end.

Smashtastic Synopsis: Reychel finds herself free of slavery, but freedom comes at a high price in this world. Reychel's special gift is causing her much stress as an entire kingdom is depending on her to be their savior. Unfortunately, no one alive or available is able to teach Reychel how to control her gift, and her visions are quite sporadic. However, Reychel has one resource available to her: ancient journals fro...more

So I really loved Anathema and most of us know that the second book in a series or trilogy usually doesn't even come close to being as good as the first book. Well Oubliette was EVEN BETTER!!!! How Megg does it I have no idea. I was immediately sucked right back into Reychelle's world which was awesome since Anathema ended on a cliffhanger of sorts. Oubliette picks off exactly where Anathema ended there was no skipping ahead and I really appreciated that.

This book was over way too fast! Loved every moment of it, though :).
Reychel is doing her best, yet still feels like a slave - trying to please everyone else, without being able to actually decide anything on her own. She has been thrust in to an unknown - the palace, the people, all of it unfamiliar. She does an outstanding job of sticking to her guns. The book, as with the one before, is well written; you really feel connected to Reychel. Through all the turmoil, doubt, confusion, etc you feel...more

ok i'm gonna say about the 1st half of this book was good... but it was almost like ok what's going on are they just dragging this out... cause now she's in another kingdom having to meet new people and once again trying to figure out who are her allies... but then things start happening and they realize that nothing is as it seems... not even the prophecy about her or Zelor, the original prophet... one of the things i've really liked about this series is that it'll keep surprising you and the e...more
This second book picks up exactly where the first book ended. Just like the first great plot, excellent new added characters and NO love triangle! Just plain old amazing fashion book!
In this second book Reychel is trying to figure out how to use her gift but something else or someone is trying to make things harder for her. Again who can she trust?! and of course there's...Mark.

I am enjoying the storyline in this series very much. The world and characters are interesting and engaging and the book is a nice easy read. Once again i would recommend this story to others. While the ending did increase anticipation for the next book (as i assume the author intended) I found it a little abrupt. However, as there is a third book, it didn't detract too much from my enjoyment.
Other than that, I look forward to the third Installment and I can't wait to see what eventually happen...more

The second book in the Cloud Prophecy series, “Oubliette” was a good read. It picks up right where the first book left off, and the reader gets to meet a whole array of new and fascinating characters. A slow-moving, yet interesting storyline with unpredictable twists, keeps the reader riveted; and the open ending leaves as much as necessary to be continued in the third and final installment of the series.
My only complaints are that “Oubliette” didn’t have that same “oomph” as what the first book...more

This book answers some questions from the first book, but brings up even more. Reychel spends most of this book trapped in a castle with people she doesn't know if she can trust, while wrestling with the question of whether she should lie about receiving a prophecy. Now it's time to wait... for the next book!
Much better than the first book, still a little trouble with people being too stupid to get where they are, but better. Continuity also is a bit of an issue, but that is more of an editing issue than really writing. Made me want to read the 3rd book, so it did what any book should do

The young slave girl liberated in book 1 discovers her true identity in this book, but has suffered such betrayal she's not sure where to turn. She's trapped in a life she didn't want, but feels obligated to do all she can to help, knowing that it was all a lie.
The saga continues to be great. I liked the additional characters they just added to the drama. The trilogy is made up of very quick reads. I just started this today and I'm already finished. I didn't even read all day. It took just a couple of hours.
I thought that the character development in the first book was amazing, but book 2 blows me completely out of the water. Reychel finally comes into her own person and it is absolutely beautiful to watch her do so. the story's face paced in it's own way, but absolutely keeps you in suspence the whole way. I was honestly shocked by what she learner about the previous profet and just as shocked as the crowd by her final protect at the end of the book. this series is definitely a must read and uniqu...more
Oubliette is the second book in the Cloud Prophet Trilogy. I enjoyed the way Megg Jensen continued the story of Reychel. There was plenty of suspense, and even a little romance thrown in. I can't wait to read the final book in the series!
Love Reychel, and her ability to "read" the clouds. Mark is a character that I like a lot, I really trust him, but something about him makes me wonder though. Everyone Reychel trusts seems to be out to destroy her. If only she can figure out how and what to do, since she is the prophet.
The second book kept the intrigue going. I enjoy the characters and the plot is fast paced. I especially like that each book ends even thought there is one that follows it.
2nd in the series - this story had it's claws in me so far I was thinking about it when I wasn't reading it - and couldn't get back to it fast enough! Fast paced and unpredictable. A real page turner! Looking forward to the next book!
