The Soul Prophecy

Soul Hunters #2

by Chris Bradford

The second title in the explosive Soul Hunter series

'I saw him die right in front of my eyes.'
'That you did,' replies Damien.
'But you underestimated his power.
Tanas is back and stronger than ever . . .'

When Genna's parents are murdered, the police put the tragedy down to a burglary gone wrong. But Genna knows the truth: the Soul Hunters are back and her nightmare is far from over.

With home no longer safe, she flees to America to find Phoenix, the only one who can help her - or so she thinks. While searching for her Soul Protector, Genna meets other First Ascendants like her, and Soul Warriors tasked with protecting the Light.

But the Hunters are on her trail and it's only a matter of time before Genna comes face-to-face with their leader once more. For Tanas has miraculously incarnated into a new body, and is hungry for her soul.

Genna must look to her past lives to survive. But how can she defeat Tanas when evil never dies?

An excellent sequel to the Souls Hunters. The book is just as intense as the first book. As soon as I finished a chapter I wanted to read the next one.

Since Tanas' defeat and death, Genna and Phoenix are separated. Genna's life has returned to normalcy. She believes she has put her time and glimmers behind her. However when the darkness returnes thus will take a personal toll on her. A bit of a role reversal as well, and what is this Soul Prophecy everyone seems to know but nobody is willing to talk about?

This book goes through the origin of the First Ascendants, the Protectors, and the Incarnates. Chris Bradford does an incredible job of his knowledge of other cultures and martial arts in this book. I can't wait for the next book. With the continued war between the darkness and the light.

Auch Band 2 der ,Soul‘-Trilogie hat mir wieder unglaublich gut gefallen. Genna, die erste Nachkommin und Trägerin des Seelenlichts und ihr Guardian Phoenix sind erneut vor dem Inkarnaten und Seelenjäger Tanas auf der Flucht.
Ich liebe die komplexe Verflechtung von Geschichte und Gegenwart, die das Buch zu einem riesigen Handlungspuzzle macht. Die einzelnen Schimmer (Vergangenheitsreisen) sind spannend, perfekt recherchiert und logisch. Jeder Schimmer ist relevant für die Entwicklung der Geschichte und einfach großartig und spannend.
Die unterschiedlichen Charaktere sind so tiefgründig und auf bestimmte Art und Weise miteinander verknüpft, dass man gar nicht aufhören kann weiterzulesen und mehr von ihnen und ihren früheren Leben zu erfahren.
Ich mag diese Reihe so so gerne und finde es wirklich schade, dass sie leider etwas untergeht. Ich kann den finalen 3. Band kaum erwarten und euch diese Trilogie nur ans Herz legen. ♥

Fing spannend an, ab bereits ab der Mitte des Buches war mir alles zu konstruiert und Genna kam immer zu leicht aus brenzligen Situationen heraus.
Die Erweiterung der Welt um die vielen verschiedenen Reinkarnationen der Seelen ist gelungen, hätte aber evtl ein wenig mehr Zeit und Platz gebraucht.
Zudem finde ich, dass Phoenix leider etwas zu kurz kam. Ich fand im ersten Teil gerade die Dynamik und Verbundenheit der beiden toll und diesmal war er leider nur noch eine Nebenfigur. Sehr schade, denn das barg viel Potenzial, was verschenkt wurde.

To be honest: I liked „soul hunters“ more but i guess that‘s just my opinion. I heard very often, that the second book is just as good as the first one but I can‘t relate to that expression. Like yeah the book isn‘t bad and I like it very much but I just think, that the end wasn‘t that good. But i guess that‘s a matter of taste.

But all together it‘s a really good book and i can recommend it!

Ist was amazing. I can’t wait to read the 3rd book. I’m so excited about the story between Genna and Phoenix.

Although the last review was a bit harsh, i have decided to try this again. It was slightly better than last time. 3.5 stars rounded up.

Wasn't as exciting as the first book, maybe the concept doesn't hold weight anymore... a slightly disappointing book...

Ik vond dit boek wel leuk, maar erg langdradig. Erg veel van hetzelfde als deel 1, wat dus in deel 1 goed was maar niet meer voor deel 2.
