Last of the Wilds (Age of the Five Trilogy Book 2)

I just finished this today, and I think it was great. We get more of the main characters' histories, there are hints that the gods are not all that they should be, new characters are introduced, and we get to know some of the cultures that were only glimpsed in the first book. I think what some reviewers are forgetting is that this is the middle book of a trilogy. Everything is not supposed to be wrapped up now. This book does exactly what it is supposed to do - it draws the reader further into the world, makes us care about what happens to the characters, and further sets the plot for the last book.

I recommend these books for anyone who is looking for a new and innovative approach to fantasy. Trudi's writing makes for easy reading and transports you to a new world with each book.

Read the rest of the trilogy and had the plot plan figured out 1/4 way through the second book. Actually suspected the final plot twist in the first book, 100% sure in the second. The story is good, but not as good as the first trilogy of hers I read, the Black Magician trilogy. which at least kept me guessing a bit and the plot moved right along

I love Trudi work. I've Read the black magician trilogy, the traitors spy and the first and second book of this series.Well, in my opinion the story 'runs out of gas' around the 70% of the book. After that, you spend a lot of time reading while nothing happens... I guess I have to try the third one to give a complete opinion but so far this has been weakest.

Love Trudi Canavan's writing style. Very similar style to the Magician Trilogy, similar story elements also. All in All, a good buy that eats up time reading, not boring, but not overly stimulating either, a perfect timekiller.

Book probably better than the first one and very similar to other books from same author. It is strange always to read a fantasy book written by a woman because the characters are viewed in a different way a man would describe. Interesting though.

I bought this book as a gift for my brother and he liked it. Based on that I give it a rating of 4.

After the desapointment of the first book, this second was a great surprise, the all thing got a purpose and the reading much more enjoyable.It's a interesting idea to have the gods play an active roll in humans lifes.All in all, its a very nice reading

SPOILER FREEThe plot in Last of the Wilds, the second entry of The Age of Five Trilogy by Trudi Canavan is a lot slower than the first, but it’s rich in lore, history, magic, and character development.This is a book about discovery, rather than epic fantasy battles and war like The Priestess of the White.AURAYA’S JOURNEY IN LAST OF THE WILDS IS DIFFICULT FOR HERShe spends so much of it fighting an uphill battle (metaphorically) and for a while it doesn’t feel like she’s going anywhere.Auraya does, however, come into her own eventually and watching her grow even more as a character was brilliant to see.LEIARD AND EMERAHL’S PLOTLINES ARE MY FAVOURITEThey are the reason I have rated Last of the Wilds so highly. Some of the mysteries and secrets touched upon in the previous book are revealed, and for others there are more clues.Emerahl makes this book so much fun as her plot is driven entirely by her – not the events around her. She does what she wants and gets what she wants too.Reivan is introduced to us in this book, and because of that we get to see the other side. Her plot is quite dark, but she is strong and the way her story develops is brilliant.As the middle book, Last of the Wilds suffers a little from sagging in the middle, but not too much – the characters bring the world and story to life and you will find the book over before you know it.

Really enjoy Trudi Canavan and this book is no exception.Unfortunately quality was described used - very good but fell far short with some food staining, damaged cover and broken spine with little support from seller.

Really enjoyed the second book in this series. Took a few chapters to get into it. The writing jumped about a bit between characters so if I didn’t read it for a few days you had to remind yourself of who’s who.The story line was good and will download the next instalment.

I finally finished this and it was a slog, which compared to her other series is surprising. I had figured out most of the plot twists by middle of second book and it dragged on for a further book and a half. Constant point of view changes by about 8 characters made it frustrating to follow

This books starts off where the 1st book ended, in a similar style but this time introducing a POV character from the enemy side, the Pentadrians which adds a new dimension to the story and mixes it all up a bit. Still love the Siyee and Auraya's tale the most, but as other characters grow and go on adventures of their own this story sucks you in and I finished it in a matter of hours being unable to put it down!
