Ruins

Thanks to NetGalley and Joshua Winning for giving me the chance to review this book :)

I really loved the first volume of the Sentinels, and I adored this one. The whole climax of the book is filled with some dark and tormented fantasy, a really dark version of most of the great young adults fantasy tales. The whole plot is wonderful, tremendous, and really well handled, I couldn't let go off the book, staying awake as late as I could just to finish it.

The whole world, as in the previous tome, is astonishing, quite rich and full of new discoveries. I started to really love all the characters (especially Nicholas, Merlyn and the dear cat), who grow deeper and deeper in this part of the story. The whole plot is breathtaking, I cringed at some parts of the story, got tears in my eyes at others.

Really one of the greatest YA fantasy trilogy I had the chance to read for a while, I'm looking forward to the third one and I could bet those books will go far!
