The island of Nera is the second volume of the tetralogy The Edge of Nowhere dElizabeth George. Published by Editions Presse de la Cité, you acquire this thriller to 19. If the first volume does not mavait totally convinced, and had received several opinions from disappointed fans lauteure, I discovered for myself, this second volume significantly raises the level of the series, even though the conclusion of my adventure seemed a little twisted?
We find our heroine Becca King after our previous adventure. I washed enjoyed in the first volume but my more rain in this second volume. Jai impression quentre its previous and his new adventure, Becca has matured a lot. It is always brave, right, both thoughtful and fearless when it follows its instinct. A heroine fun to follow.
But this second volume also highlights another character, discovered and hated in the first volume: Jenn. In the first volume, she decided to hate Becca and she still hates so much in this second book. I still enjoyed exploring this damsel to whom I quickly attached anyway. It is less than courageous Becca, but has a rather complex family history too, which makes it human.
In terms of secondary characters, Seth is still present, mavait character who really liked in the first volume and is still as endearing in the second. Instead of another, Derric (hidden name because spoiler Volume 1), which annoyed me a lot!
As in the first volume, lauteure gives voice to different characters of his book: Becca and Jenn mainly, but also the secondary character that annoyed me. Follow the first two heroines makes history thrilling and captivating.
Overall, my second book much more confident than the first. Jai was quickly immersed in history, and in spite of myself, I was immediately driven. Perhaps because history does not essentially revolves around Becca. Probably also because this volume does not suffer from having to set the scene.
However, some weaknesses javais statement in the first volume are present, including the superficiality with which lauteure treats the gift of Becca. It remains in main adventure but we know nothing about, and Becca does not seem sen more worrying than that
In addition, the end of this second volume is not great, as in the first book. If in the first métais I said, "all that for this? "Here I rather say" What this? "Because I found this twisted end of step with the book that, despite the element fantastic with the gift of Becca, is rather down to earth.
Conclusion
I found this second volume much more addictive than the first volume, better built, more catchy, with a heroine who took maturity and remains engaging. Jenn's arrival in the main characters very much and this is my character that makes lauteure endearing. The story does not lack Drafting, or turnaround, but I found the end a bit disappointing.
If you have been a little disappointed the first volume, feel free to give a chance to the second!
