In the second book in the Immortals
series, Evie returns for the second term at Wyldcliffe Abbey School
for Young Ladies. She longs to help her love, Sebastian, who is
fading away into darkness. She will need the help of her sisters in
the Mystic Way if she is to have any hope of saving his soul before
it is too late. Yet, dark forces are at work at the school. Can
Evie and her friends Helen and Sarah protect themselves long enough
to find a way to help Sebastian?
While I felt this was not quite as
good as the first book in the series, “Immortal”, it was a good
follow up novel. It brought back favorite heroines from the first
title, while introducing new characters and further developing
others. I was quite pleased with how the romance between Sebastian
and Evie played out. The classic theme of the battle between good
and evil was handled nicely, with suspenseful developments all along
the way.
The series continues with two other
books, which my local library does not carry. My understanding is
that the girls' story of friendship continues, and that one book
focuses more on Helen, and the other on Sarah. Gillian Shields is
also the author of a wide variety of books for young readers.
