I received an ARC to give an honest review. 

A Veil of Shadows takes place where book one left off. Gavin and his sister want to go home but yet are not sure how to do that! When they are taken before a council they get a big surprise at who is still alive. They won't get all the answers to the questions they have but they will get some. They will trek for days and it will take all they have to survive. They meet friends along the way and of course Gavin is always suspicious of new people because he still is upset from being betrayed in book one by someone they thought they could trust. Naomi on the other hand tries to see the good she seems to be changing a bit from when we were first introduced to her. 

I have to say I really liked how the author described the serpent kind who captured the kids. I could honestly see them in my mind and found it funny how I would think how they would run. I know silly but it was just something that stuck to me. 

The Shadow Lord has many loyal followers and will stop at nothing to get Gavin and Naomi but it won't be in this story....we just get to read just how many will follow the Shadow Lord and do his bidding. 

One part of the book I think the author did was when the kids found themselves split up. We got to get more of the story and how they survived by not being together. It was like now they really have to think on their toes which was really good. As far as characters go the author did an amazing job with building them up and having them in certain situations that had them use their brains to find a way out. 
This book is not only good for the older audiences if you like fantasy but for the teens as well. I will be introducing my son to this series!

Let me welcome Author Teri Polen for an interview. I read her book Sarah which I got from NetGalley and let me tell you it was actually a really good read.
