Saltlands by Elizabeth StephensMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Abel The Rescuer
I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.
This is the second book in a continuing series. This book follows the first one immediately and won’t make any sense without the first book.
Abel is stuck in a cave with Mikey and Kane has been kidnapped by a 1000 year old Other. It feels like they’ve gone from the frying pan into the fire. Mikey isn’t even that good of a companion. He’s been stuck in a cave for 3 years and all he cares about is booze and how everything his brother is and does is better than him.
Abel has to deal with gangs, cannibals, Others and a drunk brother-in-law. Assaulted, tortured and on the edge of death more times than she can count, life feels no less dangerous now than it always did, in fact, it sometimes feels a lot worse.
This book is full of edge of the seat moments, where you wonder how on earth they are going to get out of this next predicament. Abel is definitely put through the wringer and often it’s the blood she’s taken from Kane that keeps her from death.
Mikey is a very confused character. He is so envious of his brother it’s like cancer eating at his heart. His envy colours all his actions towards his brother’s wife. There’s a lot of arguing.
The plot is once again intriguing and sets a cracking pace as you get pulled along. This is a really good series and I’m enjoying it a lot. I believe the next book follows the same timeline but follows a different couple. I’m happy to shift over to someone else because I’m enjoying the story of this world and the people in it.
