*Note: this is the second book in a duology that should be read in order. There may be slight spoilers for book 1 in this review*
Forestfall is the second book in the World at Lake’s Edge duology by Lyndall Clipstone. Forestfall picks up right after the events of the first book, with Violeta going to the land as part of the events of the explosive ending of book one. This series is perfect for fans of a spooky atmospheric read. I think it will be a big hit for upper young adult readers looking for a creepy read for Halloween time. The World at Lake’s Edge delivers a great creepy atmosphere.
Violeta, Rowan and the Lord Under all star in Forestfall, and i have to say that I really grew to understand and appreciate the Lord Under so much more. This book was evocative and dark and though I didn’t always agree with the characters decisions, this book completely gripped me. Once I started I couldn’t put Forestfall down. I genuinely had no idea what direction the book was going to veer off in, and I loved that. Lyndall Clipstone kept me guessing until the very end.
This duology wrapped up wonderfully and even though it was not how I guessed it would end, I completely love it. If you are a looking for a dark and spooky mysterious read, check out The world at lake’s edge duology. This was a great read for spooky season.
