Gransdur The Games The Phayul trilogy eBook Jan Raymond

"Gran-sdur: The Games (The Pha-yul trilogy Book 2)", by Jan Raymond, the second in her wonderful series will keep you turning pages to the very end and have you eagerly awaiting Book Three. I read Book One a while back but had no trouble jumping right into Book Two. The story and the characters came right back to me, which speaks to how well the plot and the characters were developed by the author. As the Circle of Five train and refine their gifts and abilities, each evolves and grows stronger. This is balanced well with the need for teamwork required to be successful at the games in which they participate.

I was struck by how well Raymond portrays the emotions of her characters. There are plenty of scenes filled with action, but we really get a feel for the characters and how they evolve and progress by seeing how they respond and handle the different situations with which they are faced.

Book One was good. Book Two is even better. The story flows well between the two offerings. Raymond's descriptions and attention to details are amazing and the lead up to the thrilling ending will leave you wanting more!

I'm waiting on Book Three.

Highly recommended. Five well-deserved stars.

Gransdur The Games The Phayul trilogy eBook Jan Raymond Reviews

This is the second in the wonderful YA series, The Pha-yul trilogy. I want to note that although this is the second in the series, the author does a fabulous job of introducing elements of the first book into this one, so it can be read as a standalone. But, why would you? Read both.

The book is about five remarkable children, Maya, Ryan, Sebastian, Cassie, and Sam. They discovered special, superhuman abilities a year ago. Why they have these gifts is something I won’t disclose, you need to find out while reading this tale. The guide in honing their abilities is Mr. Harris. Everyone thought he was simply a teacher, but it turns out he is so much more.

The final scene is engrossing, I was nervous about the fate of the characters. At the end, there is a resolution, new questions, and surprises. The final part of this trilogy will be epic. This is a well-written book that held my interest and surprised me.
I thoroughly enjoyed Gran-sdur The Games by Jan Raymond, the 2nd full-length novel in the Pha-yul Trilogy. I read Raymond's first book (Circle of Five) a while ago and, despite the time in between reads, had no trouble at all re-immersing myself into her wonderful world.

The trilogy is an exciting YA fantasy about five teenagers who suddenly discover they have superpowers and are inducted into a secret society, hidden high in the Himalayas Pha-yul.

In the sequel, the kids have gained some maturity, bonded together and are being coached by their mentor, Mr. Harris, to compete in a series of games that will be played at Pha-yul. These games, however, are not just sporting competitions, but rather may decide the actual fate of the world.

Raymond's writing is crisp and clean, and her characters evolve and grow during the course of the novel. The games themselves are exciting and I had a hard time putting this book down. I warn you there is a cliff-hanger ending and, like me, you will be chomping at the bit to read the final novel in the trilogy when it is published.

While the target audience for Raymond's trilogy is young adults, this is a read (like Harry Potter) that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Gran-sdur The Games is a wonderful read and I recommend it to you with great enthusiasm!
This is book 2 of the Pha-yul triology. If you haven’t read the first one, Circle of Five, you’d most likely be lost. This isn’t a series you can just waltz into the middle of.

Now that the kids have spent over a year with Mr. Harris honing their special abilities, he takes them to Pha-yul for the summer to continue their training for the upcoming Gran-sdur. Here, the children learn they’re descended from a race called Padimites. Through their eyes and lessons, the author fills in the background of whom the Padimites are and why they came to Earth. Their teachers paint a rosy picture of their race, and most of them look down at the mere humans they inhabit Earth with. The kids take pretty much everything told to them at face-value, except Sam, the doubting Thomas. If the Padimites are so peaceful and superior to humans, why did Pha-yul splinter into different communities and factions?

The kids become friends with some of the other children training for the Gran-sdur. And once the games begin, it’s every team for itself. Faced with betrayal and possible death, Sam, Cassie, Maya, Seb & Ryan bond together as never before just to survive the games.

There’s a lot of world-building in this book, so it’s slow going for over half the book. But once the games started, I couldn’t put the book down. There were a few questions I didn’t think were addressed, like the recessive Padimite genes. What are the odds of the gene showing up decades later in siblings? This story takes place in our modern world, so why haven’t the different communities of Padimites been discovered? I realize they find the most remote areas to hide at, but our technology would find them. If they’re using some type of cloaking technology, that’s something we as the readers have to assume.

In my review of The Circle of Five, I criticized the author’s lack of editing. It has improved somewhat in this book and I know she’s working at correcting her mistakes.

All in all, I loved this book and can’t wait for the final installment. Where are Seb and The Book? I highly recommend this story for all ages. I give it 4 feathers.
