Scattered Plume

Fallen Flame, Book 2

By: J.M. Miller

Narrated by: Amelia Hugh

In the wake of death and betrayal, Vala flees the island of Garlin with Xavyn in search of the truth about her identity.

To find the answers they seek, they must first cross The Divide - a mass of cloud and fog that has separated human lands from the rest of the world for hundreds of years. As they pass through what is meant to kill all who draw near, a surge of magic emerges, bringing death to some and more power to others. In turn, The Divide is weakened, the fog dissolving enough to reveal what lies beyond, reigniting thoughts of war between sides.

But the imminent collapse of The Divide isn’t the only thing concerning Vala and Xavyn. They discover what Vala needs the most is also what the Islain queen had been searching for - a feather. Not only could it help prevent war, it could restore Vala’s immortality despite all she has forgotten. Though there are others also searching, waiting for magic to return, prepared to risk it all for the same immortal goal.

Good read

Vala is one strong woman. Xavyn is one strong man. They make for an interesting couple. Can’t wait to read the next book and see where everything first

Wonderful 2nd book in trilogy

I loved FALLEN FLAME, but I loved SCATTERED PLUME even more! Valla has agency, there’s a lot going on, the mystery begins to be solved, and there are dragons. The fight scene is fantastic and I love the groupings of beings working together for the greater good.

Excellent sequel

I really enjoyed listening to the second book in this series! My favorite part was seeing Vala kind of come into her skin and own her new acceptance of her strength. She always was a strong woman, but we see her really grow throughout this book. I also thought there were many moments which the wording was just so beautiful and thought provoking. I loved the deep history of this world with it’s wars and people also.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Scattered Plume

Searching for her feathers, Vala and Xavyn cross the divide and find new allies. With the divide behind them, magic begins to return. As Vala and her friends search for her feathers, they encounter a new enemy. Now they race to find the feathers before the enemy,
This series is one of the more unique ones I have ever read. It is filled with action and intrigue. I love the characters and the world building is pretty fantastic! Scattered Plume gets 4 stars!

Still Hooked..

As we leave Garlin with Vala and Xavyn we wonder what is to come.. and I was not prepared. We meet so many more fantasy characters, and beautiful kingdoms. Again, we wonder who is to be trusted.. how much do we trust them? What other secrets are being kept? A lot more truths that need to be unraveled and discovered as well. Vala begins to get more information on who she is (or was) as she continues her character development. Again there's the right amount of action and even more sprinkles of romance. Enough of everything in combination, I have to know how this series ends. Once more, pairing it with the amazing narration skills of Amelia Hugh made it even better as she brought so much life to the story.
