Shadow Scale is book two in the Seraphina series
by Rachel Hartman, although it can be read as a stand-alone tale. Are you ready
for a hero’s journey? Then settle in with this lengthy (608 pages!) new
addition featuring half-dragon Seraphina and friends. The book comes complete with a map, cast of
characters and glossary. Called magical and
enchanting, this sequel received starred reviews from Booklist, Kirkus,
and Publishers Weekly. The basic
story centers around Seraphina’s efforts to stop war and to find other
half-dragons, like herself. At times, it does seem repetitive, but will
definitely appeal to fans of young adult fantasy stories.
Hartman’s debut novel, Seraphina, won numerous awards,
including being named a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year and
being listed in the ALA-YALSA Top Ten Best Fiction for Young Adults Book. Seraphina is also one of the nominees for the 2015 Abe Lincoln Award and voting is currently underway in Illinois.
Voting closes at midnight on March 15th, with the 2015 winner expected to be
announced on Friday, March 20th. If you
have been busy reading and already voted, here is a recently released link to the 2016 list– enjoy!
