I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved this more or the same as the first book, I can't decide because they were both really good.

This book takes place 3 years after the first one which at first confused me but as I read it made more sense and it was really fun.

Cantor still annoyed me with the way he treats Bridger but it was definitely better than the first book.

Bridger and Bixby is still my favorite characters within this series. They are great and so witty and awesome.

I liked the other characters and the new ones that we meet. I can't stand Errod Tos he is so evil and I still don't know what to make of what his ultimate plans are and it kind of scares me for the characters I love in this series.

The 2 renegade realms were interesting plot twist in this book. The description of the people/creatures (not to sure what they are) was slightly creepy and very dangerous. I was wondering how Cantor and the gang were going to deal with them.

I seriously need the next book because I really want to know what is going to happen and the ending of this book was a cliffhanger and I am excited to see how things are going to play out in the next book.

This book was so much better than the first one! The characters were more believable in their actions and the plot was more engaging. I was pleased to see some action in this book, however mild it may have been, and I do look forward to finishing the series. I also loved the spiritual examples that I saw throughout the book, very inspiring:-) However, this book seemed to move both too fast and too slow at the same time...and that is not necessarily a 'good' thing or 'bad' thing. It moved too fast, in the scenes that were short and choppy where it seemed like the author was in a hurry to get to the next scene, making them seem unfinished.The ways that Two Renegade Realms was too slow were in the story, on how it kept dragging out and the characters kept finding more pieces to the puzzle before they could put them together, and the pieces were acquired too easily. I would have preferred to see either a considerable amount of more action or some explanations to certain "pieces of the puzzle", so to speak. Even with all of the above, I still enjoyed this read and rate it 4 out of 5 stars, but I am warning older teens, like 15 and up, this might not be for you as the action is not "upper teen" worthy.

A Quick Tip to the Author: Another thing that might have made the story pick up speed, would be if you showed us the story rather than telling it and had had some more dialogue between the characters and less self examination.
