The Spirit Heir suffered from second book syndrome. It started off okay, with Jinji in prison and a general chaos, but soon it became rather predictable. My biggest problem was that it didn't feel like I was reading any thing new.

This was not to say that I didn't enjoy myself when I was reading it. I still didn't have a great idea of what the world was really looking like, and some of the rules where rather unclear as well.

"And at least soldiers chose to fight, chose to risk their lives in combat"

Do you really want to go there? Are you really saying that in ye olde pseudo-medieval fantasy world everybody joined the army because they just loved fighting/their country/both so much. Nobody did it out of necessity, because they couldn't find another job but needed the money or just because it was a family tradition or simply anything but Duty. Honor. Courage.?

I loved the first book, and the second book was even better.

Rhen has been stabbed and lies in a coma. Jinji lies in the dungeons of Rhen's kingdom. The world has changed. Rhen wakes up to the knowledge that his best friend Jin is actually a woman. He cannot separate the friend from the woman. Rhen demands to know where she is and finds her in the dungeons. Letting his King know that he owes Jinji his life, and that he needs to put her under the protection of the crown.

Rhen realizes that there is more to Jinji. He trusts her with his life. There begins to be more between the two of them and it is FABULOUS. It is so fantastic to see a romance bud from friendship. He trust Jinji implicitly and Jinji trust Rhen in return. It was so much fun to watch their relationship. I hate insta love. This book brought two people together in the best way possible. It was awesome.

Rhen and Jinji are plagued by mists, and voices in their heads. Following this mist, and this voice may be what saves Rhens kingdom.

Rhen is finally at peace with the power he yields. Rhen and Jinji are finally at peace with their relationship. Rhen knows he cannot live without her and Jinji knows the same.

Searching for some peace and answers in the storms that are passing, they come to a castle that is hidden. Standing in the seas with answers that may help to save Rhens kingdom.

I love this story. This book kept me on the edge of my seat from the beginning until the end. UGH, the end. Waiting for the next one in this book is going to drive me cray. I must know what happens now. So much happens at the very end of this book, that when it came to an end, I had that UGH scream release from my lips...hehe.

The author did such a great job putting me in this book. Sometimes I gloss over the world building and description because it gets too wordy for me. NOT in this one. I had to follow every single word to make sure I could soak up as much of this story as I could.

Jinji and Rhen are such fantastic characters. I cannot wait to see where their story takes me in book three! I cannot wait, but I must :(.

ARRRGHHHH!!!!!!
The end of the book really annoyed me. Throughout the book when it was mentioned the shadow had its own body I knew that it would be Janu, so that bit was really predictable, but to me Jinji isn't the sort of person who would risk the lives of EVERYBODY just to keep her brother alive.
Also, leading up to the end, Jinji and Rhen had finally shown each other their feelings and everything seemed to be going well (other than the fact that Rhen's family would probably die) and then Jin ...more

im sorry but no.. this is not a good second book.

the romance is just cringeworthy.

the alternating POV is starting to get old and I feel as though the writer i just using it as fodder when he explains a scene from both sides. Enough already!

The premise of this world, its magic and politics is quite interesting (even if the 'kingdoms' come across as warring villages, not nations) and showed promise in book 1 but just too much wrong with this one to forgive.

INITIAL THOUGHTS
So I finished reading The Silver Key and am now desperate to know what will happen next to the characters of Princess Leenaka, Prince Whylrhen, and Jinji which I am quite "invested in" now.

MY REVIEW
I had discussed doing a promotional post on my blog about this brilliant book series with the author, who also generously provided me with a copy of The Shadow Soul (though this title has been on offer "Free" for a period of time too) in exchange for my honest opinion in the form of a review. Again this cover has a wispy smokey threatening figure on the cover, only this time it is set against a purple and blue background so the "shadow" appears white, I'd liken it to a white mist or fog rather than the more sinister black smoggy figure on the cover of The Shadow soul. Does the fact the mysterious figure on this cover white suggest it is a perhaps kinder, non-threatening, maybe helpful force? The smokey figure seems to be holding an hourglass in her hand which perhaps relates to the impending war that the Ourthurian King Rafaaq is planning to have with the Whylkin royalty & their people, or could it be time is running out for Jin and Rhen to find and defeat the "shadow figure"? There are a few possibilities that this object could point to. I also think upon reading The Spirit Heir that the "shadow figure" is standing in a place well described in the book. It is a scene form the book where a rather impetuous Rhen takes Jinji to view the castle and the surrounding landscape. So would this cover make me pick this book up from a book store shelf? The beautiful blue, and purple shades on the cover along with the twinkling stars would draw my eye to it. The shadow figure would certainly pique my interest upon looking more closely at the cover. So I'd have to say yes.
So this book has lots of action packed into it. It begins with poor Jinji languishing in the palace dungeon. . . listening to the pitiful cries and screams of pain from other prisoners. then she hears footsteps making their way to her cell. Jinji is then taken to a sitting room which obviously compared to the cold damp dungeon is more opulent than she has ever seen or dreamt of. It feels like she is waiting forever and begins to feel anxious though the anxiety slides away somewhat when a door opens when Rhen walks in. Prior to this Jinji didn't even know if Rhen was alive. So does Rhen accept Jinji as a female and treat her as such? Yes, Does Rhen forgive and understand why Jinji hide her true gender from him? Well he possibly understands a little and more so when he see's how his family and other roayalty treat Jinji as an irritating lower class person. Can Rhen forgive her, well time will tell I suppose. Hey, I'm not being super cryptic I'm just trying not to give out too much information or spoilers!
There is also more about Rhen and his royal duties, as well as seeing how he is so ill at ease with his own family. It takes a lot for Rhen to recover to the tragic event where he had to use his fire elemental power in front of others as well as the physical injuries from him being stabbed. Rhen has been used to being known as the thrid "spare heir" "the womaniser" and now he has to take on a much more important and serious role. There's a lot of war tactics and discussions in this book too. The Ourthurians have a complex well thought out plan of war. they are determined to take over and be the rulers of every race and kingdom.
Then Princess Leenaka arrives and is not exactly welcomed by the people of Whykin. The Princess wishes to help to defeat her father, she knows better than anyone, how cruel and calculating he can be.
The acting Prince Regent who was also used looking forward to a life of his own as he was simply a "spare~" to the throne. After the tragedy of the death of the King and of little baby Prince Whyllean's father Tarin, it is left to the remaining brother's to protect the throne. The acting Prince regent takes the difficult decision to send Rhen away to protect the Whykin family blood line. He thinks that the Ourthuri will win the impending war. Rhen reluctantly agrees and gives in to his brothers wish/order. The Prince Regent has organised a small merchant style ship that should be able to sail away unchallenged to safety. Rhen naturally doesn't want to admit to himself that the war will be won by the Orthuri, that he has just been ordered to save himself so he finds Jin and says that it is time to go find the Shadow. It is kind of like old times like when they first met and travelled together. Another development is the voice inside Jin's head that knows all about the "Shadow that is ying to its yang, they are a pair, rather like Jinji & Janu once were. The voice in Jin's head can also "appear" as a white ethereal mist, at one point in the books Jinji call's it "pure spirit". This spirit leads Jinji & Rhen to where they can find information about the Shadow. Jinji ends up badly injured. . .and Rhen has to decide whether to follow the orders of the Prince Regent to escape at all costs and stay away from danger, and taking Jinji to get medical help. the nearest medical help is an apothecary on board of a ship ready to wage war with the approaching Ourthuri war ships. . . . .there is of course more . . . much, much more but I cannot possibly reveal everything! I feel like I could seriously talk about this book and in fact this whole series so far forever. So much happens in this book, it really is packed with action! We also learn more about the reasoning behind the series being called "A Dance Of Dragon's" too. . . . .yessss there is a dragon near the end. I had been wondering what the tone of the book was reminding me of and had come up with the Throne Of Glass Series by Sarah J. Maas, but in this book the The Inheritance Cycle Series of book by Christopher Paolini. . . .my daughter has read those books and told me all about them, I have seen the 2006 dvd of Eragon starring english actor Edward Speleers. The descriptions that gave me the scenic views and imagery i my head made me think of this film quite a lot. I really loved this series. It is the first time for a long, long time that I have sat and read a whole series so far, it is not often I have the time or I allow myself the luxury to do this. That is why one of my main new years resolutions is to do this more often or at least not allow myself to be booked up too far in advance for review by date books. I want more freedom to be spontaneous in what I am choosing to read and when.
So did I enjoy this book? Wow, loved it. Would I recommend the book? Highly recommend this book and the whole series so far. There is so much potential for the whole series both the larger plot and the smaller individual characters and their more personal plots. The novella's have done their job well too, because as I was reading this novel I was wondering if there would be a novella 2.5 to tell us what has happened/been happening to Princess Leenaka whilst we were learning more about Jinji and Rhens journey. There's also potential for a 2.5 novella to be told what was happening back in Whylkin, perhaps from the point of view of the Prince Regent? This book answered a lot of questions but I ended up wanting to ask even more questions by the end of it! Would I read another novella/book in this series? Yes, please. As you will see from above I think there could/in my opinion should be another novella before the next novel. Maybe the novella could be from dual point of view of Princess Leenaka and the Prince Regent. I of course and super excited, for the next novel that is called "The Phoenix Born" . . . I'm hoping for such a lot. More elementals, more from Rhen, Princess Leenaka, Jinji, and the Prince Regent as well as more of the Shadow and the voice in Jinji's head/white mist. Then there should be more plot related to the series title too!!! So much to be covered, in how many books, and/or novella's? Would I read other titles by Kaitlyn Davis? Obviously I really want to read the rest of this series, it's right up at the top of my must reads of 2015! and I would like to make time to take a look at Kaitlyn's other series titled Midnight Fire. ...more

This book. I didn't think it could be better than the first, but it was. I loved, loved, loved the progression of the characters and the way the story unfolded. In this sequel, there's a change in the relationship between Jinji and Rhen. Rhen now knows that his best friend is a girl and with that knowledge comes new feelings that were so beautiful. These two are perfect, their love is perfect, everything about the way it progressed was perfect. It wasn't instalove or predestined. It was real, starting off as merely a friendship. I liked how they were best friends first and foremost. They trusted each other, believed in each other, loved each other more than anyone else in their lives. It was truly enjoyable to watch.

The other elements to the story was wonderfully written as well. The war between the rebelling cities, the Kingdom of Ourthuro and the Kingdom of Whrylkin was very interesting to read about. The author didn't have some magical savior or crazy stroke of luck come to the aid of the kingdom of Whrylkin. It was all very realistic and forced the readers to realize that sometimes the kingdoms you love fall. Empires rise and fall. It's the way of things. Even with the Lord of Fire, you know that Whrylkin is doomed to a heart-wrenching fate.

Then you have the other side of the plot, the spirit side. This was cleverly thought out storyline. The inner turmoil of Jinji and the spirit within her was entertaining to read about. The spirit and shadow's relationship was a brilliant point to discuss and include in the story. You get to see that there's no such thing as all good and all evil. That both beings merely fell prey to the choices life gives us. Will you choose to do what's right or will you let your greed and secret desires consume you? Sometimes those desires may seem innocent in thought, but remember they all come with a trade-off. To see that these two other beings acted no different then a human was interesting to see. The whole concept of the spirits and elements was an original and positive element of the story. For me, it gave the story a four rather than three star rating.

The ending though was killer. I need the next book now. What happens to Rhen now? And Jinji? And the Whrylkin? What about the shadow? What's he up to? And the big reveal or I should say big reveals, how are they going to impact the story? Hurry up, third book. I'm eagerly waiting your release! ...more

The book picks up right where we left off. Rhen’s kingdom and family was attacked and the shadow was about to kill Rhen when Jinji stopped it and got awesomely struck by some super lightening. So usually I would do a very quick summary of the story but this book is just too intricate for me to even do a short summary. There is no way I can exclude spoilers so I will just get on with my verbal rant on what I liked about the book.

This book is just totally amazing. There are soo many layers with a lot happening simultaneously that you can’t help but be sucked into this world that the author has created.

Rhen will finally discover that the young boy he has spent the last few months with is really a woman, that alone sends him into a jumble of emotions, a bit of betrayal but ultimately, attraction and perhaps, just perhaps ……..

I loved the pace of the story, although there were moments with the grey mist leading Rhen down passages that I felt were pointless. Also I guess the Shadow going around and aimlessly attacking the natives doesn’t make too much sense but towards the end it all started to make a bit more sense. I honestly didn’t want the story to end but I also needed it to move quicker so I can eventually find out what the Spirit is trying to achieve and why the shadow is so angry (Mehn! that is one p****d off shadow). There wasn’t enough romance for me as I just soo wanted it to be more in the midst of all the death and betrayal and more death.

I liked Rhen a bit more in this book, his strength and loyalty was amazing, and the kind of trust he had for Jinji was like none that actually exists, but it just made me like him even more. And finally we get to see Dragons!!! Did I mention that I love dragons? And yes now the story starts to get even more interesting.

Well onto book 3, I can’t wait to find out how the story ends and if Jinji will do what needs to be done to save the world or would she rather see them all perish. Also will Rhen still trust her and love her once her discovered the secrets she has kept from him? ...more
