Bonds and Broken Dreams (Amplifier Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Meghan Ciana Doidge (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 765 ratings
We had chosen our place, etching our lives into a new land. Then we had defended that land when called upon to do so. And we’d won. We’d maintained our freedom.

But magic attracts magic.

As they say.

So when the sorcerers showed up, holding my recent past hostage — along with a future I had dreamed I might build — it was just as expected. In fact, I might have been getting just a little bored playing at being Emma Johnson.

I might not believe in bonds fortified by fate, or in love at first sight for that matter. But magic, it seemed, had other ideas.

Bonds and Broken Dreams is the second book in the Amplifier series, which is set in the same universe as the Dowser, Oracle, and Reconstructionist series.

    I have read all of Meghan Ciana Doidge’s books because her writing style is smart and with enough detail and humor to her characters to form personal attachments. If you are just now discovering this author, I highly recommend her Dowser, Oracle, And Reconstructionist books as well!

    Wow! This was an action-packed sequel (fourth installment?) !!! These characters are complex, perfectly flawed in their own way, and Emma shines as the strong leader of the bunch. Set in the familiar Adept Universe, this book continues expanding on the brilliance that Meghan Doidge has artfully created through the Dowser, Oracle, and Reconstructionist series. I'll be anxiously awaiting book three!

    Loved the book! This book was an eye opener in all of Emma’s current relationships. We get to meet Aiden’s brother and see more of his family baggage. There was also more information about the job in San Francisco. This book is not a stand-alone, I highly recommend the whole series.

    Excellent book 2. I've been hooked on this series since I read the prequel and the books that have followed to not disappoint. I love the MFC of this book! She's hardcore in many ways while still learning to navigate her emotions, something we see much more of in this installment. All in all an enjoyable read and looking forward to the next one.

    Meghan Ciana Doidge writes riveting stories. I stay up way too late reading them, and am sad when I get to the end. She pulls me into her world of the supernatural, and of kickass female protagonists and I never want to leave. I'm also thrilled that these stories are written by a Canadian author. Go Meghan!

    Emma is fast becoming one of my favourite heroines! I loved this instalment so much. It brought together so many of the characters and built relationships with new ones. Loving Opal. And Christopher, Aiden, and Paisley are most definitely some of my favs! Can't wait for the next book now. Thanks MCD!

    2.0 out of 5 stars Simplistic plot and characters who can not hold a simple conversation
    Reviewed in Australia on May 20, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    This was an exercise in frustration - so much is left unspoken between the characters, they stare at each other broodingly, have constant tense discussions that make no sense, talk a lot in two or three word sentences, seeming to answer questions that were never asked, referencing things that make no sense here and now to this conversation. They constantly interpret every conversation to be either a jab at them personally or a reference to the past, leaving the reader feeling like there are multiple conversations going/and not going on at the same time - and we, readers, get no real answers.
    And good god, how many times can Emma clam up, misinterpret a statement, only then to be okay with it, but needs a moment of silence to work through it, only for Christopher/Aiden to misinterpret her silence and read something else into what she is/or isn't saying? So much drama. And I'm the hamster on the wheel getting no where fast.
    More annoying with this book than the weird conversations/and not conversations - was the rather limited lack of storyline - not a lot happens. Aidan's brother arrives, dinner, a witch arrives, kidnapping, kill bad guys, cliffhanger. It all felt very plodding, one step in front of the other other, the story and the bad guys telegraphed (funny, the author hides no mystery in her plots but no characters can have a simple conversation)

    Characters are stereotypes - the brother just got more and more machiavellian, might as well twirl a moustache and threaten the dog (oh, yeah, he does that) Isa's motives were very one-track, he seemed unable to deviate, underestimating Emma time and time again though he witnesses what she can do.

    Am giving up on this series, what I thought was refreshing and unique about it got old really fast, the characters failing to grow or evolve and the author clinging to past books/storylines adding more layers of mystery but awkwardly and not giving us much in the way of answers or evolving the Five.

    I've always fallen into books and become absorbed by them.

    But this series, like the Dowser series, sucks me in, turns me upside down and round about.

    The characters are alive and fantastically written.

    On a high that Aidan is back.

    Love that Opal has found them.

    On a low when his brother and ex lover show up.

    Shocked to the core as he's transported away.

    Nearly crying at that tar pit that might have killed all.

    Now sat WAITING FOR BOOK THREE, NOW!!!!!

    Lol. Needless to say I want more, please 😁😁😁💗💗
