5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating tale well told
You know an author has done a great job of world-building when you step into the second book in a series and feel right at home. That's the way I felt when I dug into Lander's Choice. C.S. Wachter has created an interesting world at the earth's core where Stone Sovereigns reign supreme, but all is not well. It falls to Lander to fulfill his destiny and set right what has been set asunder by man's interference. He faces hardship, loss, and trials by fire (literally) before he ultimately accepts and completes his mission. It's hard not to root for him, and to hope there is another sequel describing what happens one year from now...
5.0 out of 5 stars An Exciting and Great Ending to a Two-Book Set
As a reviewer, I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.Lander’s Choice, the sequel to Lander’s Legacy by C. S. Wachter is a great read! C. S. Wachter stories improve with each book she writes.About the Book:Lander’s Legacy was a great read, but Lander’s Choice is even better. Lander, Castor, Desma, Becky, and Michael remain in the Core under the control of the men who partnered with Aurelius Hunt sixteen years ago and have risen to power over the people of the core. As they are taken on a kind of tour of the Core, Lander notices that the people have been segregated into communities of “gifted”, those with special powers who get to rule and keep order over the communities of the “ungifted”, those with no special powers who are treated as slaves. Soon, Lander is separated from all of his friends because he is “gifted” and they are not. Lander is torn between his mother’s words about him helping to bring peace to the Core and his loyalty to his friends.My Review:C. S. Wachter does a great job of showing Lander’s internal struggle between his feelings for Becky and his loyalty to her and Michael along with the promise to get them back to the Surface, and his desire to learn more about this beautiful and unusual place that he came from and his mother’s words that he would play a part in bringing peace back to the Core.The story is filled with adventure, struggle, and suspense as Lander and his friends are often in danger and Lander is forced to “play along” with the “gifted” until he can come up with a plan to try to make everything right. There are battles and lost lives. There are emotional struggles. There are twists and surprises.C. S. Wachter grabbed my attention on page one and held it in a tight grip until the end of the very last page. I couldn’t stop reading until I knew if Lander would succeed in making difficult choices and succeeding in the things he most wanted to accomplish. And, in the end, would he choose to remain in the Core or return to the Surface? And what would happen between him and Becky?The characters C. S. Wachter created in this two book set were well developed and endeared themselves to my heart. Even the bad guys had some redeeming qualities, which was a refreshing change from the norm.So far, I have read every book that C. S. Wachter has written and I have not been disappointed, but I have to say that Lander’s Choice is my favorite, and I can’t wait to see what she writes next because this two book series, though still fantasy, is very different from her first longer series, “The Seven Words Series”. It will be fun to see how different her next story will be.Lander’s Legacy and Lander’s Choice are appropriate for middle grade, YA, and Adult readers who enjoy fantasy adventure stories.I give this book 5 stars.
5.0 out of 5 stars Enthralling End to Lander's Series
This story surprised me. I got about a quarter of the way through and thought it was going the typical way of YA Fantasy-main character betrays his friends and stubbornly insists he was doing the right thing, even through death and emotional brokenness. I was so wrong.Lander has to make a choice between two groups of people: the Surface Dwellers who are his friends and the Core Dwellers who are his family. His choice between them will affect both groups. If he doesn't choose the Surface Dwellers, his friends will be stuck in the Core forever. If he doesn't choose the Core Dwellers, he will not learn how to master his powers or keep back the evil monsters plaguing the Core.This seemingly impossible choice is the core of the story and it makes the emotional stakes just as high as the plot stakes, which is a perfect combination for a book.Definitely a lovely conclusion to the duology and I highly recommend both books!
5.0 out of 5 stars What will Lander choose?
Book one in the Stone Sovereign series, Lander's Legacy, tells the first part of the jouney while Lander's Choise finishes it in exciting detail. The fantastic scene descriptions are a pleasure to read and the action packed story keeps you turning pages. Best of all is the particularly satisfying ending.
