Product Description
As the epic manga series continues, the threat to the Turtle Realm grows--and the warriors must show courage and wisdom far beyond their years.
In part five of the Vermonia series, Mel continues her double life imprisoned within the castle of Acidulous, but now she is not alone: Satorin has been lured there by the beautiful and seductive squelp Satoran. Although Mel's powers are growing, will they be enough to free her and Satorin from Uro's evertightening trap? Meanwhile, Doug, Jim, and Naomi must confront monsters of their own making that rise from Xandan Lake's waters, illusory demons embodying their greatest fears and hopes. As Xandan Island collapses around them, they risk perishing along with Irenu, Butabo, and half the army of the Turtle Realm. Only with the miraculous arrival of the Aqami's warship does their escape seem possible.

Heavy on the Battle Scenes {yawn},
By
This review is from: Vermonia #5: The Warriors' Trial (Paperback)
Reason for Reading: next in the seriesBriefly, the warriors are attempting to protect the Pillar of Thunder in this volume. They must face battle in the Lake of Wishes and finally against Uro's Henchman, the mighty Rodvel. So what we have here is a battle scene that starts on page 1 and continues straight through until page 137. The remainder of the book brings back some slight character development and moves the plot forward as we get to see what Mel is up to and Satorin is kidnapped. We also get a flashback to the past learning more of the background story of the brothers and what created the fall of Vermonia in the first place. Good information and intriguing story advancement in the last pages but the long strung out battle had me less than underwhelmed, but then I'm not 8.
