Review Detail

Eye of the Sword by Karyn Henley was such a delightful read. High fantasy is my favorite thing to read, and Karyn Henley does a marvelous job with it. Eye of the Sword held an actionpacked plot and I just didn’t want to put it down.

The world Karyn Henley has created with the Angelaeon Circle is so neat. It really is unlike anything I have read before, which makes for a fun time trying to figure out what everything means and what is going to happen. I had a little trouble jumping right back into the world with Eye of the Sword. It took me a few chapters before everything made perfect sense again.

I loved the plot of this one. I liked the focus towards Trevin in Eye of the Sword as I feel like he has a bit more interesting of a tale than Melaia. Trevin is such a conflicted character, so I just loved getting to know him a bit better. Karyn Henley throws quite a few twists and turns at readers in Eye of the Sword, I could never tell what was going to be coming next.

Getting to know all the characters from Breath of Angel better was great. Along with the old characters, a lot of new faces are introduced in Eye of the Sword and I am very excited to see more of them in book 3.

Eye of the Sword by Karyn Henley was a really fun read. While the leap back into the world was a bit jarring at first, I thought Eye of the Sword was everything I was hoping for in a sequel. I just love what Karyn Henley has done with the world and mythology, and cannot wait to see what is next for her.
