REVIEW
This book was awesome. Exciting, fast paced and full of
twists and turns, I was fully immersed in the world of Reapers, Hunters,
Royals, Banished and Hosts.
I loved how this book took place before and during the
events of book 1, because it added to the story by clearing up some of the
questions I had whilst reading the first book. It also gave me a chance to see
a different side of Evan/Lock, and how and why he became a Banished.
It was interesting to see things from a Reapers perspective,
because they were kind of made out to be these horrible beings who felt nothing
for the Banished and just allowed their Goons to destroy “lives”.
I also loved getting to know certain characters were before
they appeared in Lock’s life in Banished
Spirits. I felt a little tingle of excitement every time I recognized
someone or was able to tie together events. The world in which these spirits
dwelled was exciting and at times terrifying, but Jordon and his friends fought
for their rights, and it was one thrilling adventure.
