Review
The art work on the cover of this book draws the reader to this, Book 2 of the Amber House Trilogy. In Amber House, the first book, Sarah Parsons, changed the history so that the Nazi's conquered Europe and the American Confederation of States is segregated. In Book 2 Sarah and her family have moved to back to their ancestral home. Once there, Sarah begins to see confusing historical visions and then remembers incidents from the past though she never lived in that time period. Sarah discovers that her friend, Jackson also experiences the same types of visions but of a different world and together they decide to reset the universe and make things right.
This a story that is unique in its plot but can be confusing with the visions of the past weaving in and out of the story. Young officiandos of fantasy and historical fiction writing will find both this book engaging. A must-read of the first book in the series is called for.
Overall Book Score: good
