Dark Waters of Hagwood The Hagwood Trilogy Robin Jarvis 9781453299203 Books

Spoilers for previous book ahead.

tTooH promised so much from the rest of the trilogy, so I felt a little let down with this middle book. Then again, I was waiting for near a decade, so I guess it's impossible not to be disappointed.

On the positive, there are a few characters who really shine. Gamaliel and Finnen are still great, and the sluglungs are pretty fun to visualize. The frustrating thing is that it felt like it introduced so many interesting ideas, but wanted to rush it's plot, so it didn't really explore any of the ideas it introduced. I would love to see Gamaliel really explore what Aggie's venom in his veins means for him, for instance, but they barely touch on this. Also there's a death that just feels out of nowhere and cheap, and there are certain characters who are absolutely useless, annoyingly enough. It's clear that they are moving away from exploration of werling culture and more into Rhiannon's backstory. Too bad the queen is just as much of a bore in this book...

The book does have its moments, but it you're looking for an epic fantasy adventure, you can do better.

Dark Waters of Hagwood The Hagwood Trilogy Robin Jarvis 9781453299203 Books Reviews

I loved it. I enjoyed watching the pieces begin. To come together and what was lost come to light. This series would be great as Read-A-Louds.
Do I love it? Why yes. Yes I do. Thank you for asking. I was excited to see Robin Jarvis' name on the cover and even more excited once I began reading this. With so much of fantasy recently being focused on more political type literature like GoT, it was nice to return to a world where the use of magic and silly, entertaining creatures was not a taboo.

I found this book to have a nice blend of humour, good storytelling and adventure. It was fun to learn about the different characters and there was shape shifting into squirrel form, (always a plus in my book.)

I think this book would be good for pretty much any age group. The story moves fast enough to hold your attention and there are enough little mysteries about what is going to happen to the characters to keep you from falling into a state of mental blah.

I really liked the character names as well. Rather than being too difficult to pronounce or remember, Robin Jarvis used names that are fun to say and read. I appreciated this as it kept me in the story rather than making me stop to try and figure out which character was which and how to say their names.

I would recommend this book to anyone. So much fun!

This review is based on a digital ARC from the publisher and Netgalley.
I enjoyed this second book of the trilogy. I wish i had the final book, a page turner hard to ut down.
