Review: Palom

Palom by L.L. McNeil
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Palom is the second book in L.L. McNeil’s World of Linaria series, and it’s packed full of fantasy elements that are guaranteed to have you devouring the book in no time at all. If you’ve yet to read Moroda, book one, go and do so now, as Palom builds upon it wonderfully.

With Palom a lot of new elements were introduced to the story. We build upon all that happened in book one, with plenty of twists and surprises being thrown in. The world grows larger, the characters develop well, and new storylines are introduced to suck you in ever deeper.

Although Palom was a slower book than Moroda, it was not a filler second book. It does not suffer from second book syndrome, whereby it does nothing for the plot, instead it is an incredible read that will have you hooked. The moment you finish you’ll be wanting to dive into book three to see what comes next, to see how the twists develop, and to get more of the characters.

Without a doubt, Palom is well worth the read if you enjoyed book one. The story really finds its stride in this one, and I have high hopes for the rest of the series.
