It’s good, but the writing is very “predictable” and all three books could have been put into one. It’s drawn out wayyyy too much. But the characters are finally getting good.

One of the best things about these books is they are quick, bite-size books that don't take long to read. They are full of action, adventure, well-designed characters and plausible friendships. Although I will say that ending on a cliffhanger for both book one and two make me very glad that I waited until at least three of the books were out before reading. I have long been a fan of Shannon Mayer's books, which is what brought me to this. I will now be obsessively seeking/reading KF Breene's books as well.

YA without teenage anxiety well done Shannon! I sure hope this series isn't just a trilogy, I'm really enjoying this world and the characters.

Shipping intensifies.

I have never read the author K. F. Breene before, but if this second book in the Shadowspell Acaemy series shows how good she is, I must start very soon. Anyway, we start up right where we left in the first book, and the action never lets up from that point on. Wild is determined to win the trials, but when she discovers there have been missing contestants and it gets personal, she ups her game. I have to admit that YA is generally not my favorite genre, but I don’t mind when the plot, characters, and actions are young without being juvenile like this series. Not only is this book fun, it kept me glued to the pages to find out just exactly what is going to happen next. I am enthralled with this series, and after the ending, I’m more than read for the next one. I do highly recommend it! I voluntarily reviewed the e-book which I was provided.

I don’t think I will force myself to continue this, cause I just don’t care about the Characters

fun for all ages

This book is a story with suspense, mystery and excitement. It proved that all can be accomplished when you work together. Looking forward to #3!

Kapow!

This is the one of the most action-packed books I've possibly ever read with this few pages. There are no useless facts, no boring rambly bits, no repetitious storylines - it's all just bam, bam, bam action from one scene to the next. And I loved it!

Our talented leading lady Ms. Johnson, aka Wild, is entertaining, powerful, and clever. Even though she seems to be a bit of a multitalent in that 'knows how to do everything' sort of way, she's still not annoying or too much of a know-it-all. She is a Real girl, with a capital R - she puts idiots in their rightful places (aka on their asses, in the corner, etc.), she can ride horses of all shapes and sizes, and she gives credit to her awesome crew members where credit is due.

I'm still a tad confused with the boys in Wild's life showing all sorts of different interest in her, but I'm sure there'll be a solution to the boy question later on, as well. Until then, more trials, please!

Will book #3 be the last book, I wonder? And if so, will we get to read about the actual academy (and not just the trials)?
