So now that Branwen finally has accepted her destiny, she has to follow it.There is just one problem. She excepts the Shining Ones to make it easy for her. It seems that it some parts, she wants the Shining Ones to do everything. Then in other parts, she uses her brain and we see how smart she is. She needs the Shining Ones for help but not to do everything for her. She can do that.I like that we don't get to see most of Branwen's destiny, only parts. That way there is a little mystery going on. Where is she and her companions going next? How is her destiny going to play out?Also, there is the epic battle in this one as well.There were some revelations going on. I have to say that I wasn't surprised and I was waiting for it. But it was still pretty good book.Also, the romance is there in little pieces, which suits this series very well. It will be interesting to see what happens in "The Emerald Flame" within the romance area.Good second book. I hope this keeps up in the third! Review by Madison - Year 10Please bear in mind that this is book 2 in the series and the review may therefore contain spoilers to the first book.Following Branwen's first victory with help from the Shining Ones she sets off on another quest. She soon faces doubts when she receives no guidance or even signs from the Shining Ones. Branwen decides to return home only to be stopped by Govannon of the Wood. Gifting her with Blodwedd, an owl in girl form, who helps keep her on the right path. Finally receiving reassurance from the Shining Ones, Branwen continues on the quest that has been set.I really enjoy these books and Destiny's Path was no exception. I am always in a state of anticipation while reading, wondering what will happen next. From surprise attacks, sword fights to rescue missions, you never know what twists and turns the story is going to take. Predictable this series is not :)Not only is it a dynamic plot it is enhanced by the characters. I really like Branwen and feel empathy for her during her quest, she is so brave but has realistic moments of self-doubt. Blodwedd, an owl trying to adjust to life in a girls body is a great peripheral character alongside th many others who join Branwen during her quest. It really is an action packed story.This series is perfect for anyone who enjoys action and adventure as well as providing a heart warming story of 'normal' people trying to save their land.
What do You think about Destiny's Path (2009)?
it was a little slower than the first one but still good :)
