Loved reading more of Lara and Magnus! They are hilarious together.
And this was definitely a compelling sequel to Lara which was also amazing!
As I mentioned before, I think I like Magnus more than Varden(sorry!) He's so funny! And gets way more jealous than Varden did. Speaking of Varden, that really was sad. I like Varden, but Magnus is amazing too.
Dillon: Wow, Lara really has a valuable treasure in that boy. In this book, you will find he is very mature for his age. And so like his mother.

This is the second book of the World of Hetar. I like Lara she is strong and willfull character. Lara ends up going to Terah and helps the Terahn men with an ancient curse. I do have to admit I kept reading and wondering what the heck was wrong with the men and in the end was satisfied with how the curse was solved. Good book and good imagination by Bertrice Small. I love the characters and tales she spins within the magic world. She's very imaginative and keeps you guessing.
I loved the first one but this one got a little boring. There were never any real conflicts. The solutions to every problem came way too easy. That may sound silly I guess but I would have liked to see the character Lara actually have to solve a problem and not have everything happen so easily for her. There was a magical solution to absolutely everything!
I have read Lara, this one, and the Twilight Lord book in this series and I loved them all. Sometimes a little much on the smut. Just how many times can one have sexual encounters in a day? But overall they are well written and it isn't just a "smut" book as many people like to think anything with any romance in it is!
This was the 2nd book outlining Lara's destiny. She continues on her journey in the world of Hetar. I really enjoyed it. It was long....the next book is $9.99 so I will wait for the kindle price to drop.
Other then the fact that I thought it was a bit strange that Lara wasn't very effected by Vartan's death, I thought that this was a great story. The repetition from the first book wasn't as dominant in this book which really helped. I love the way that Lara just excepts every situation that she is thrown in and makes the best of it. She makes great changes in the world by accepting her fate and doing what she can to make things better.
This second book in the serie was as good as the first one.
Lara's up and downs are still captevating.
Couldn't put this one down either!
Miss Small as a hell of an imagination!

one of my favorite series
I admit it. I skimmed the end. I've never taken so long to read a Beatrice Small book. I didn't know she was capable of writing a boring story, but I soooo need a break from Hetar and Lara. Small could fling this girl off a cliff for no apparent plot reason and start telling the book from the point of view of the female talking horse and I wouldn't mind. It might actually be more interesting.
Lara once again captured my heart. I enjoyed reading her adventures and following her in her destiny. I loved the ending and I am looking foward to what is next in store for Lara.

I am totally involved in the Hetar series. I finished the 2nd book over the weekend and it was very good. I like Magnus Hauk. Very resilent character. Also Lara's children from Vartan were put into context with living with the Fiacre. I so like how as the story progresses and changes we still are in the same world. And I really like faerieposts. Very handy.
A little slower in parts but overall another great addition to this fantasy world. I liked the addition of the land of Terah & how it functions and how the clever gender politics of "Can't speak vs. can't hear" play out. I'm moving on to book 3 for sure.
