SECOND SKIN

I loved the storyline. It flowed nicely, I became invested in the characters and slightly frustrated with them, too.Was quite the adventure story hints of romance lots of action.I wish it had been a little longer by another book or 2.

I didn't enjoy this as much as her book, We other but this was an entirely different gender . Will try the Next one in the series just to see if gets better.

Really loved this story, it felt fresh and interesting from start to finish, although the ending happened way too soon for my liking.Feels like a really strong start to a much longer story and I can’t wait to hear how the world fills out as it goes

This is another cracking fantasy novel by Sue Bentley. It instantly engaged me, drawing me into the sweep of dramatic landscapes and the fiery heart of her heroine Aledra. The characters were very believable, despite inhabiting a very different world to ours. And whenever I'm not feeling quite comfortable in my own skin (which happens quite a lot in these tricky times!) I just imagine what it would be like to find myself in another skin altogether - the skin of a very different begin ... Highly recommended.

Second Skin is an epic fantasy which draws in the reader through its strong characterization and vivid imagery. From the outset you find yourself drawn to Aledra and can’t help but will her on in her plight; yet she is such a determined character she needs little help. Its rich descriptive language immerses you in another world, but one which is at the same time believable which I personally like. It brought to mind the infamous Game of Thrones, but is more tender and less violent.

I really enjoyed the effortless story telling and the very intriguing world of Esra. Looking to the next book to see how the story advances.

Great fantasy novel, had me gripped throughout! Love this author.

How tacky to copy a well known author's cover and then use the subtitle to name the aforementioned author's book!

A very enjoyable and exciting adventure. I particularly enjoyed Aledra fighting to be true to herself, no matter what hardships she had to endure.

I really enjoyed the story and am looking forward to the next one. The only thing I could say needs improvement is that the book really needs an editor for grammar and spelling.

I picked this up because it mentioned if you loved Fourth Wing this would be a good Rex. I think that is a bit generous as it’s not anything like Fourth Wing. That said- it’s a good story. A bit slow and it never really picks up the pace. But I liked Aledra. She was a good character and the end makes me wonder about a sequel- it kinda sets up for one. Overall 3 solid stars.

I read this novel in a binge-worthy single sitting. I couldn’t put it down. Now, I’m left dying for more!!

Unusual perspective for a tale about dragons and humans. I really enjoyed the developing relationship between Aledra and Jubal as they explore the world around them. I will look for the next installment.
