Unseen (First of the Blade Book 2) Kindle Edition

by D.K. Holmberg (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 1,245 ratings

Having found the true power of her blade, Imogen must use it to protect her people.

After preventing her brother from taking the power of the Porapeth and becoming the very thing her people have defended against, Imogen now chases him, believing he can still be saved.

When a dangerous creature not seen in centuries emerges and begins to hunt those with magic, Imogen fears her brother responsible. Stopping these creatures involves an understanding of the sacred patterns Imogen hasn’t fully mastered, and requires her to protect those the Leier have long warred with.

They need a true master of the sacred patterns, which means the First of the Blade must become something more.

She must find a way to lead.

    Great read. I gave this and previous book four stars because of the use of the "F" word. To me, that word does not fit in this series. ( Fornication Under Consent of the King).
    Imogen is still trying to understand herself with the sword. Then her brother throws her a curve. Since she is unbonded. The General orders her to join his army. Can she get herself together. A great read and on to the next book.

    The progression from book to book flows well and builds upon existing social and cultural paradigms without suffocating or revealing the overall plot development. Enjoyable easy read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars slow start…
    Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2022

    The plot is interesting…especially in the last half of the book
    The magic system is interesting. The protagonist uses meditation and practice to increase her abilities, all the while doubting that she is magic. Her relationship with her mentor is fraught with frustration and admiration. There’s plenty of action…however, I slogged through the first half, unwilling to quit or commit.I’ll try the third book, but won’t last if it’s too slow. I’d say a 'B-'.

    As a secondary character, foundation tale, this was far better than most. I will read more and have followed the author. The availability of titles through Kindle Unlimited was a major influence in my purchasing. Price points do matter to some readers, I am one of them.

    An excellent continuation of the series. My only problem with the last book was that it was a bit too slow paced. This one is perfectly paced. I also enjoy how Imogen has levelled up since the last book. She will need every new skill and understanding for what comes up in this book.

    Since stopping her brother from ascending to a dark power Imogen has a greater understanding of the Sacred Patterens. However something old has been unleashed, that will force Imogen to return to the last place she ever wanted yo ho again. Her homeland. Imogen never really fit in before she left on her Bond Quest, how will an older more worldly version of Imogen fit in now? Will she be able to face people from her past as well as deal with the latest deadly (supernatural) threat?

    I enjoyed everything about this book. Great character development and lots of action. A couple of reunions but not the one I am mist looking forward to. I can't wait for the next book.

    This is slightly different to the normal run of the mill fantasy
    Runs similar but not the same, Imorgan character dwells deep into herself but you still can’t connect with her, there is promise but unfulfilled. Besides that the story is fast paced, action filled.
