The Calamities of Toterrum (Shades of Aura Book 2) by Benjamin Kamphuis

By Emma Fitzgerald -
Thank you @KellyALacey @lovebookstours #Ad #LBTCrew #BookTwitter #FreeReview #FreeBookReview #ReadAlong for letting me part of this readalong. I have loved the book and tbe questions. The Calamities of Toterrum are book 2 in the series and is a fantasy genre. The story is a good pace that you can keep up with from the get-go. I loved the twist and turns, it totally threw me from what, I thought, was going to happen. Love it when that happens. The story is an action packed that keeps you hooked and engaged all the way through the book. The story is written elegantly, and I enjoyed getting to know the characters and seeing them develop through the book, and really hope there is a third book. I loved the first book and loved this book even more, love the magic and adventure. I feel young adults will love this series. A great read 4 stars. Blurb Following the aftermath of Flaunte and the ambush outside of the Blackstone Mountains, Yaron Meek finds safety within Labyrintha, the capital of the Mentality Aura. However, an internal darkness begins to consume his humanity. The Soothsayer, a strong Mentalist, aids Yaron in navigating his new head space while learning about the Mentality Aura. Shifts in other relationships, new friendships, and a strengthening bond with Ricochet flourish. War with the Officers continues to threaten Labyrintha and our heroes. How long until the Officers break past the Blackstone Mountains? Will disaster strike again? And in the distance, a golden city lost in time beckons our group. Has the Luck Aura finally been found? What does that mean for Yaron and the calamity Toterrum continues to inflict on Biome? Author bio Benjamin writes to celebrate all the creatures within our ecosystems, advocate for mental health support, create fantasy worlds with epic magic systems, and to provide stories for lovers of Pokémon and other video games to love reading again. Being a survivor of severe anxiety, Benjamin believes in community and writes books supporting the need for others to navigate a world where things aren't always right in our heads. If you like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Lord of the Rings, the Dragon Prince, and anything Nintendo, especially Pokémon and The Legend of Zelda, you'll love his worlds. He often writes lyrically, inspired by musicians like Mumford and Sons, Taylor Swift, and Noah Kahan. And if fantasy isn't enough, he writes with lots of drama, often coming from the campy reality of RuPaul's Drag Race and Big Brother.

I really enjoyed reading this book and felt like ot held my attention to the end. I really like the characters my favourite where Max, Beanie and Erin. I love the plot with the evil Doctor Asheood and the wind turbines. It was lovely to see Max develop and start to accept his disabiliny and for Max to have the strengh to tell his dad how he felt about him not communicate with him.

But after a few weeks, Florizel starts to notice something odd happening ...
