I raved about the first book in this series, Trial by Fire. It absolutely blew me away and I have been extremely excited for the last year for this book, the second in the series. I'm not sure if this affected my feelings about this book, or if I would have felt the same regardless, but it didn't - quite - live up to my expectations.

Holy freaking cow! This book was just out of this world amazing. I thought the first in the series was great but this one was infinitely better. There are so many things I loved about it that I don't even know where to start.
The world building continued in this book and it was fantastic learning more about it. Everything is so intricate and interwoven and I loved seeing characters from both worlds coming together and the interesting situations meeting their counterparts created.

OH MY GOSH. That ending. What. I can't. I just. WHAT. <-- my incoherent reaction to that ending
Firewalker takes place nearly minutes after Trial by Fire ends. The plot thickens in this book as we learn more about Lilian's motives along with those of Alaric and the Outlanders. Loyalties and beliefs are questioned. Rowan and Lily are forced to make some tough decisions as Lilian's world gets closer and closer to war. Lily and her crew must hurry to figure out how to keep this world together before ...more

The end! This is one of those you need to mentally prepare yourself for so you can survive until book three. Love Rowan. In fact, Tristan as well. Both are very swoonworthy guys. So interesting to listen in on the dreams of Lily's counterpart.

An Electronic Advanced Reader Copy was provided by the publisher via NetGalley for review.
A sequel that is worth reading, especially if you're looking for more world building questions being answered. We find out so many more details about the parallel universes and a little bit more about Lillian. I finally got to understand why she does the things she did. Fascinating to read more through Lillian's point of view especially since it's the same character but with different circumstances. And the ...more

Fast paced, full of action, engaging and entertaining.
Lily is back in her world after escaping death by a very thin margin. But she didn't come back alone and it seems the battle came with her. Soon after, she had to return to the parallel world or face charges for a murder she didn't commit. This time, her friends, Tristan, Breakfast, Una and of course, Rowan, returned to the parallel universe with her.
Lily couldn't pick sides of the war. On one side of the battle is Lillian, Lily's evil half ...more

Still a fan of this series, but I didn't like this as much as the first book. It consisted of -- no real spoilers here -- a) Lily recovering physically from the events of book one, b) the assembly of a new Scooby Gang for Lily (okay, her mechanics) and then c) the revelation of why Lillian hung Rowan's father. By the end, things had definitely picked up, but overall there was too much wheel-spinning and banter and secret-keeping and not enough stakes-raising for my taste.

It's impossible to review Firewalker without including spoilers for previous books in the series so if you haven't read Trial by Fire yet then you need to look away now. I will say that I'm really enjoying this series though so it's definitely one I'd recommend checking out if you enjoy YA fantasy.
Trial by Fire was one of my favourite YA books last year so it's no surprise that I've been desperately waiting for the release of the sequel. I was actually so excited about Firewa ...more

The stories she creates are always chock full of magic, fascinating characters, and some of the swooniest boys that I ever did see! True to form, the second book in her Worldwalker series leaves our cast enlightened yet at the same time on the precipice of some MAJOR changes.

I love the blend of witches and alternate dimensions in this series, but Firewalker wasn’t as good as the first book. A few scenes had me suspending my disbelief and the whole book lacked emotional connection.
Connecting to the main character is a major part of enjoying a book, and even in the second book, I still couldn’t connect to Lily. She has Lillian, her evil alternate self inside her head, talking to her and showing her ...more

Firewalker was an anticipated novel but I ended up feeling 50/50 about it. On one hand, it is a fantastic follow up to Trial by Fire but it was also filled with romantic drama and I hated that.
With this book, Lily’s Tristan--the one she used to love--is back in the picture. I was actually surprised by how well that was handled. I was happy that even though Tristan clearly had feelings, Lily doesn't feel the same way any more. Rowan also ...more

A lot of things STILL did not make any sense to me. My main question was, if Lily was allergic to the air in her own world and could only breathe properly in Lillians world, doesn't that mean Lily belonged in that universe? If so, why? And how was she able to do all those magical things in her own universe? It just sounded very confusing and unrealistic. I was honestly so bored while reading this I almost fell asleep multiple times. I just skimmed the second half of the book.

As soon as I finished Trial By Fire, I really, really, really wanted Firewalker immediately. However, when I looked at the release date of September 1st 2015, the waiting seemed so long, and I hoped my patience would last. For those of you who have read Trial By Fire will understand because you will be feeling a similar emotion as me, especially with that cliffhanger.

Update: It seems the title has been changed (smartly) so I might give it a chance now.
Um, no based on the offensive title. Change the title and I might be willing to give it a chance. Jesus, publishers didn't you take a US history class? Reading is suppose to be educational, not for dumb asses who think it's okay to use the title of a tragedy of a race of people for profit. ...more

After I finished this book, I went back to my review on Trial by Fire and this is what I found:
Lillian's character threw me into confusion and really triggered my interest in discovering more of the secrets she's hiding because I'm sure they won't disappoint!

I'm think I'm starting to hate myself.
For the first 100 pages, Rowan and Lily were nothing but fluff. So if it were up to me, I'll tell you this book would have been way shorter. And way more action-packed because shit doesn't happen until ...more

I didn't like this installment as much as the first one, but it's still very close to great!
I loved the interaction between Lily and Lillian throughout the book and how, piece by piece, Lillian showed Lily her memories and experiences and explained to her why she did what she did in the past and why she did those seemingly brutal and unforgivable things.
We got to know more about the other destroyed worlds - which I expected - but we also got to know more about Lillians world. The world got ext ...more

Four stars: A good sequel, but it ends abruptly with a cliffhanger.
After the battle, Lily and Rowan land back in Lily's world. Lily is burned badly and barely alive. Thankfully, Rowan is able to nurse her back to health. Safely nestled back at home, Lily should be happy to put the terrible events of Rowan and Lillian's world behind her, but she can't. Lillian reaches across the worlds at night and shares her memories with Lily via dreams. Through Lillian's memories, Lily begins to understand wh ...more

Ohmygoodness did she just? Did the author really do that? I'm so flipping mad right now! I finished this slug fest without any sense of satisfaction. Are you telling me that I went through all that boring melodrama for this ending? So not cool.

“Haven’t you learned yet? Someone has to be the villain so everyone else can stay alive.”
I was sorely disappointed by Trial By Fire and I’m sorry to say that Firewalker was no better. In fact, I had a tougher time reading this one than I did the first – if that’s possible. I don’t know if it’s because everything I disliked about the first book was now magnified tenfold, or if was simply because I’d had enough of these characters, this world and their relationships.

Rating 4.5
So I was thoroughly impressed with this second book in the Worldwalker Trilogy. I think my favorite thing about this story is the connection all of the characters have, it really does make the story as a whole more personal, plus it gives a different sense of reader and character connection. With the way things ended in Trail by Fire, you kind of have an idea of where things are going to go in the beginning of this book, but you don't have any idea of what kind of level it would be on. ...more
