When I first found out that Sigmund Brouwer's "Merlin's Instruments" was being followed by a sequel, I very impatiently waited for my copy to arrive. However, my anticipation was not met with the excitement I had built up for it. It wasn't bad, and I'm not complaining about the story or trying to discourage potential readers from engaging with it. My problem really revolved around the fact that the book seemed to be incredibly slow in the beginning. I'm an avid reader, and when books start off slow, I tend to lose hope in them very quickly. I am glad, however, I stuck with this book as it did grow on me as time went on and the page numbers grew higher and higher. While I would not recommend reading this book without reading the first in the series, I would recommend this to those looking for an adventure in an ancient land.

Please note I receive my copy of this book in exchange for an honest review through the Blogging for Books program.
