Lander: Liminal Sky: Oberon Cycle Book 2 by J Scott Coatsworth

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Lander picks up where Skythane leaves off. The worlds have been united and shifted but that's just the beginnings of the changes for Xander and Jameson. Both have their respective kingdoms to unite against the offworld forces and Xander's mother, Robyn, is back from the dead so to speak.

That branches into another storyline, Robyn and Quince's reunion and the work they have to do to save the world and their people. They need to find the young boy Morgan who might be something more than he seems.

On top of that Xander and Jameson find out what Quince has done with the pith putting their relationship on rocky ground. Add to that the reappearance of Alix, Xander's ex who might be more helpful than Xander would like, especially where Jameson is concerned (as far as I'm concerned, I hope book three ends in a poly relationship).

WHen things are looking bad, they get even worse when Jessa, Jameson's former fiancee comes looking for him and gets captured.

There are a lot of threads in this plot and a lot of characters but they are dealt with deftly. I loved both Alix and Jessa made me very happy. The foundation is laid for the final book of the trilogy and I really enjoyed this one. It didn't feel like many second books of a trilogy: like filler.
