As with Book 1 in this series, this review is based on a verified Amazon purchase, not an ARC.
Picking up where Book 1 left off, I enjoyed the early stages whic, for me, were not so much world building as character building. It was good to see the characters dealing with the aftermath of those world-shattering events.
Then a major plot twist happened, which I totally saw coming, and yet was not prepared for it to happen how and when it did, which is always positive. I also continued to love the wh ...more

Book 2 picks up right where book 1, Duplicity of Power, left off. It’s been about a year since I read the first book, and it took me a little while to immerse myself back into this fantasy world. Namid, our brave heroine, is having some trouble with her powers at the worst possible time. She reunites with some old friends, and the return of an old enemy sends her on a quest—she needs to find her long-lost brother to restore the balance in the Six Realms.

Mild fantasy fun suitable for a wide audience
The plot kicks off immediately after the first book. I don't think you need to have read the previous though as a lot of information is fed to you during this book as it progresses. When Namid and Aahmes are attacked, Namid sets off on a quest to find her brother. She returns home, discovers that her father is under the control of a Dark Priest, and must leave to find a way to save him.

The second novel in the series, S. Lynn Helton continues the story of Namid, picking up where the first book left off. There’s a journey back home, palace intrigue, and an impending battle amongst gods. From my perspective, it’s another throwback fantasy novel with excessive world-building and familiar genre tropes. It feels a little long and it seems the story takes its time before it gets moving, but these aren’t really issues if you’re invested in the fantasy. If you’re a fan of the old schoo

Power Awry (Wild Heritance, #2) by S. Lynn Helton (Goodreads Author) follows the two characters, Namid and Aahmes, as they wander around a fantasy world between towns, displaying their uses of Power and encountering other characters in their travels. I liked the way the author used thought-talk and hand-talk within the dialogue. It was an okay read.
Another great read
This is the fourth book in the Wild Heritance series that I’ve enjoyed and it’s my favourite so far. We join Namid as she begins rebuilding Rhadanthus, before she’s joined by some familiar faces as she goes on a quest to find her brother, Tal.
The book is really well-written, full of magic, suspense, and action. The pacing kept me engaged and I loved the relationships between the well-developed characters.
