The Thrice-Gifted
Child by Jo Allen Ash is the second entry in the Shadow Journey series and it takes off where book one ended.
Sixteen-year-old desert warrior, Grace Irese, has successfully escaped from the
juvenile prison together with Duncan Oaks. With Carina and Mika they face
terrifying challenges and enemies, after rescuing the enigmatic child —
Duncan's sister, Resa. The tyrant who has condemned Duncan and Grace to the juvenile
facility is still after them but the world they navigate is equally frightening.
With Resa showing strange symptoms and uncontrollable tempers and Carina
risking to subdue whatever is boiling within Resa, can Grace and her companions
survive the odds that await them in the unforgiving world with powerful and
fierce enemies?
Jo Allen Ash is a gifted storyteller who creates characters
that readers will enjoy. Grace is a fighter whose sense of responsibility for
her companions grows stronger through every step they make. She also makes
decisions that put them to danger, but she will go to any length to ensure they
are safe. Her friendship with Duncan, the con-artist, continues to grow through
every obstacle. Carina has a unique gift and it is interesting to notice how
much effort she puts in to protect Resa. The world building is exceptionally
accomplished. It is a planet infested with dangerous creatures and warring
factions and the sense of impending doom fills the pages of this narrative and
builds the suspense. The wild world beyond the prison walls is stunningly
depicted and readers quickly understand that the characters traverse a landscape
of the survival of the fittest. The use of the first-narrative voice is a
brilliant narrative device that makes the POV strong and the narrative
engrossing. The author deftly balances stellar storytelling with strong
characterization to deliver a wonderful entertainment to fans of YA Fantasy. The Thrice-Gifted Child reads even
better than the first book.
