Thank you to NetGalley and Page Street Publishing for sending me an E-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Forest of Souls was one of my favourite reads of 2020 and I was super excited for this sequel. However, it did disappoint me in places. Some of it was boring and slow and I didn’t feel engaged with the story. That being said, I still loved the book and I loved the characters once more, I just would have liked to see more character development. I can’t wait for the third instalment!

I breezed through this book in nearly one sitting. It gave a lot of history and more background information to Sirschas story. Many times I've been wondering about plot twists of any kind and in the end, I was not disappointed. It is a good second installment and I would love to know how the story ended!!

The Soulless is awake and recovering in the Dead Wood. The long peace between the nations of Thiy might be crumbling. And Sirscha and her best friend Saengo still have no idea how to fix any of it.
The world believes that Sirscha is a rare soulguide but she and Saengo know that Sirscha is actually a soulrender--just like The Soulless. Despite the dangers, Sirscha is determined to stop The Soulless and, if she can, save Saengo from the rot he infected her with that is slowly killing her.
With powerful allies and even more powerful enemies circling, Sirscha will have to risk everything to find--and fight--the most immediate danger in Broken Web (2021) by Lori M. Lee.
Broken Web is the second book in Lee's Shamanborn trilogy which begins with Forest of Souls.
Set two weeks after the explosive conclusion of book one, Sirscha and Saengo are still trying to understand Sirscha's new powers and Saengo's role in nurturing them as a familiar. Treachery is a constant threat hanging over the girls and their allies as they try to learn more about the Soulless and how to stop him once and for all.
Lee has created a nuanced and compelling world in this series although this book focuses more on action to move the series toward what promises to be a shocking conclusion.
Broken Web is a fast-paced, exciting installment in a singular fantasy series. A must read for fans of book one; a recommended series for readers seeking a new friendship focused fantasy adventure.
Possible Pairings: Hunted by the Sky by Tanaz Bhatena, The Reader by Traci Chee, Race the Sands by Sarah Beth Durst, For a Muse of Fire by Heidi Heilig, Furyborn by Claire Legrand, Truthwitch by Susan Dennard, Into the Heartless Wood by Joanna Ruth Meyer, Fireborne by Rosaria Munda, Uprooted by Naomi Novik, Crown of Feathers by Nicki Pau Preto, The Midnight Lie by Marie Rutkoski, Star Daughter by Shveta Thakrar, Realm of Ruins by Hannah West, The Guinevere Deception by Kiersten White
