Bryanna is exceptional in many ways. There is no one whose powers can rival those she holds. When she is asked to force the Maelstrom into the Well, her hesitation is only fleeting. She knows what must be done. With her trusted confidant and life guide, T’Laan by her side, Bryanna does as she is asked. The Maelstrom’s presence in the Well marks presents a whole new dilemma for Bryanna. She is now the unknowing target of much interest and is about to be blamed for a death for which she is not responsible. This is one time when her abilities may cost her the ultimate price.

Into the Well: Warlock Chronicles, Book II, by Bobbie R. Byrd, picks up where Byrd’s first installment left off. Main character, Bryanna D’Isaac continues to be a force with which to be reckoned and commands readers’ attention from the first page. Although this book is the second in a series it still works fairly well as a stand alone novel, but reading the first book is quite helpful as the characters’ backstories are complicated ones. Readers who enjoyed Byrd’s first book will appreciate the character development in book two.

Byrd is a master of suspense and action. Book two in the Warlock series is certainly no exception. Cover to cover, main character, Bryanna, faces one incredibly challenging situation after another. Her exceptionalities are quite amazing and help keep the book’s pace brisk and engaging. She is one of the most unique characters I have read in a long time. The mixture of the ancients and futuristic elements works well and creates fascinating visuals for Byrd’s readers.

As strong of a main character as Bryanna is, I feel T’Laan and Glyndra make the story what it is. Their personalities are unique, and the dynamic they each have with Bryanna is both charming and provides readers with the perfect amount of humor. I found myself looking forward to their scenes as much or more than I did the action sequences.

Readers looking for a new science fiction series will find themselves taken with Bryanna D’Isaac and Devon Bastion and their adventures. Having read book one in Byrd’s series, it was most definitely interesting to see the ever-evolving dynamic between Bryanna and Devon continue into book two. I highly recommend Into the Well: Warlock Chronicles, Book II to any science fiction fan looking to break into an exciting new series.
