This series so far has a lot of lessons for young ones to learn. I decided to use this book series as a part of my homeschool curriculum. As we delved into the second book we were excited with the magical aspects of the book. The way the children create the magical spells and how they were used was very creative and different from what we've seen in other places. The battle of good vs evil and brother against brother kept us intrigued. There were deeper themes that ran through the book that as a mother and educator I could appreciate. Not all things in this world are good and or easy. How you choose to handle those challenges ultimately builds your character which is clearly shown in these books as you follow along with Alex, Meghan, Lani, Samheed and Aaron. The good versus evil battle not only found between the two cities but the brother against brother is particularly interesting and heart breaking. The ending was extremely sad with the loss of their leader, but, this gives the kids something else to learn. Another obstacle to endure and overcome. Ultimately, you are left feeling hopeful that they will figure things out and rebuild their community. We will be reading the next installment. I've already purchased the books. I will say even though this book is a middle grade book, it had my full attention. I was hooked and wanted to keep reading to find out what happened. I would definitely recommend this book to you or your children. Happy reading!

The second book in the middle-grade dystopian fantasy series that Kirkus Reviews calls “The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter,” by New York Times bestselling author Lisa McMann.
Following the life-altering events at the conclusion of The Unwanteds, the stark world of Quill and the magical haven of Artimé are now home to whoever wants to live there, whether they are Wanteds, Unwanteds, or Necessaries.
In Artimé, Alex Stowe and his friends continue to hone their artistic magical spells while welcoming newcomers, wondering how long this peace between Quill and Artimé will last. Alex is stunned when Mr. Today comes to him with a very special request—one Alex questions his readiness for, until circumstances offer a dramatic answer.
And back in Quill, Aaron Stowe, Alex’s twin, faces a very different path. Devastated by his loss of status after Justine’s defeat and seething with rage toward Alex, Aaron is stealthily planning his revenge and return to power.
Alex and Aaron’s separate stories proceed with suspenseful pacing, colliding in a stunning climax that elevates sibling rivalry to epic proportions and leaves the fate of both worlds hanging in the balance.

I am an avid reader, and must admit that I find it very easy to loose my myself in many "Young Reader/Teen Reader" books. I read the description of the first book in this series, and I took a chance and ordered it, along with the next 2 books. I finished the first book in a couple of days, and although I did find some parts a bit slow (I must come clean...I am 40 plus years old, so perhaps it isn't all that surprising that I find many books that are written for a target reading audience 25 to 30 years younger than me to be somewhat slow in sections !), I was surprised at how much I liked the book. I started reading this book, and I had just finished reading page 118 when I discovered a major screw up - the next page was actually page 263 ! I thought that perhaps there was just a printing error on that particular page, but after flipping through page by page, I found that pages 263 thru 294 appear two times in the copy of the book that I bought ! Pages 119 through 150 are completely missing, and in their place are pages 263 thru 294. My book then continues with pages 151 thru 406. I haven't finished reading this book yet, but I have to say that I am a bit ticked off that this gross error occurred, and I'm sure that I am the only person who has purchased a book with this problem. Having said this, I will say that I am finding this book to be an easy read, and it allows me to temporarily leave behind my day to day problems and escape into the world of "The Unwanteds". I will probably finish this book in the next couple of days, and will then continue on with book #3 in this series. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the third book doesn't have the same kind of "printing" problem that my copy of the 2nd book had.

Emotional Rollercoaster

Book 2 was even better than the first! However, get your box of tissues ready! The characters in this series are fantastic. You love them or hate them or both because McMann constantly keeps throwing twists at you. I don't want to giveaway much but this book definitely got me hooked even more than the first. Be prepared to go on an emotional rollercoaster. Though even during the worst moments, you can't put the book down. I have a feeling there will be lots more tears shed and just as many shouts of joy, anger, or triumph! My only complaint and dislike so far of the book was Gondoleery being mean to the stray dog.
