The Wereworld series is fantasy on an epic scale. I loved the first book, 'Rise of the Wolf' and so I couldn't wait to return to the world of Lyssia and follow the characters on their next adventure.
Drew finally knows what he is but he's still learning about and trying to accept his true heritage as King-to-be, a position he hasn't been prepared for and doesn't know if he can accept. Before he can begin to discover what lies ahead of him, the Lady Gretchen is kidnapped and it's up to Drew to rescue her.
What I particularly liked about this installment of the series is that although Drew was still the main character and most of the story is focused around him, a significant amount of time was spent exploring a whole host of new characters and some familiar faces from the first book. This helped to widen the scope of the story and added a whole new layer of interest. I have to say that I'm a huge Hector fan, so I was really glad that he featured heavily in the book. It was fascinating seeing him having to finally deal with the repercussions of his father's death and the consequences of many of the decisions he made earlier on in the series. I do really like the friendship between Hector and Drew so I was sorry to see that they didn't get many scenes together in 'Rage of Lions' but it gave a chance for the two boys to explore their own future paths.
The story deals mainly with the political factions vying for power and control of Lyssia. No one can be trusted and people are willing to sell each other out to escalate their own position. Drew has to deal with his own sudden ascent and the fact that many of his choices about his future have been taken away from him. I liked the way in which Whitley faces a similar situation but is more accepting of the role she will have to take.
The ending of the book was absolutely jaw-dropping! I didn't see it coming at all but it's certainly going to make things intriguing for the next book in the series.
This is one of the most amazing fantasy series I've ever read. There is incredible attention to detail and the world of Lyssia, created by Curtis Jobling, is stupendous. Words and images vividly leap off the page and I was utterly sucked into the story from beginning to end. There are awesome battles, crazy-good fight scenes, danger around every corner and a wonderful group of characters facing the fight of their lives.

The second in Curtis Joblings Wereworld series, Rage of Lions picks up from where the first left off a few months down the line. Fans of the first will love this as the style and pace is the same as in the first book.
Despite being of the YA genre, the authors style of writing can tend to shock with his gruesome and bloody descriptions, but then these are stories about the Werelords, nobals with the ability to transform into powerful beasts.
There are plenty of twists and turns throughout the story, some good, some shocking.
A teeny bit of a spoiler next...
This a bit like Empire Strikes Back and Game of Thrones where things just dont seem to go as planned for our heroes.
Its left me hungry for the next in the series and it cant come soon enough.
