I received a copy of DESTINED FOR DOON by Carey Corp and
Lorie Langdon from Blink via BookSneeze.
It is the second installment in the young adult fantasy Doon series, which began with DOON. It is, by the way, a bit of a retelling of
Brigadoon. I’m not familiar with
Brigadoon, so I can’t speak anymore on that topic.
I loved the fantasy world of Doon. It is imaginative, but also realistic. I never shook my head in disgust. That’s a huge perk for me. In this sequel, there is, of course,
romance. The romance is sweet and will
make you feel giddy. That’s wonderful
for young adult novels, where teenagers are struggling to come to grips with
their place in the world.
Makenna and Veronica are back, which is great for people
like me who enjoyed them in the first book.
Some parts of the book were, I admit, a bit dragging. It happened during the middle. The beginning and end really whizzed by. I was captivated. I recommend this to fans of young adult
fantasy and romance.
As a side note, I was thrilled to see that when I posted
my review on GoodReads, my favorite author (Maria V. Snyder) had also reviewed
this book!
