Full Text:
Following up from last years Ferren and the Angel, Richard Harland has widened his story of Ferren’s rebellion against the overlords in the post-apocalyptic Mad Max-like Australian based dystopian novel. When we left Ferren and Miriael in Volume One they had begun to work out what was going on – or so they thought. 
Full of twists and turns, this follow up adventure places both Miriael and Ferren in danger. Moving between perspectives we learn that the overlords are far more powerful than we might have imagined and also that the scope for rebellion is wider that they both might have hoped. Having the benefit of having already explained and described the world, this new novel gets straight into the action and stays there – making this a much more exciting and fast-pased read that the initial volume – making volume two even better than volume one. Much more cinematic in its scope, this would make an excellent film and I hope that conversations are happening in this direction. It would be great to see this on the big or small screen some day.

(I love it when someone says Book 2 is better than Book 1 because that’s all because of the rethink and rewrite that went into the new IFWG version of the trilogy. In the old Penguin version, Book 2 was definitely a step down! Now I just have to make Book 3 a step up further again! No pressure!)
