Review of Beth: Book II
Beth: Book II: The Traveler’s Return by S. R. Kent is a sequel that can be read and enjoyed as a standalone without confusion. In this sequel, Elizabeth Taylor, who prefers to be called Beth, returns home after spending a year and a half with her father, whom she never knew. To return home, Beth needs to use her powers to teleport from the world she is currently in. When she gets to the lake that allows her to travel to the other world, she finds Victoria, a lady waiting for a traveler to help her cross over to another world. After a brief conversation, naïve Beth allows Victoria to cross over with her despite being warned by her father not to travel with strangers. On her safe return, Beth finds her family distraught at the news that Victoria has escaped from the world where she was imprisoned.
I enjoyed Beth’s multifaceted character. She is naïve, selfish, and stubborn at times. But she is also family-oriented, loving, and devoted. Whatever tasks she embarked on, she executed to the best of her abilities and always prioritized the safety of her loved ones.
This novel is a page-turner, and it was hard to put down. Following Beth’s journey and discovering her powers as she was also discovering them was exhilarating. Her family secrets were another aspect that added layers of intrigue and much-welcomed frustration. As Beth navigates her complex family dynamics, her character grows in unexpected yet progressive ways.
I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars. The storyline was thought-provoking and multi-dimensional. The author’s world-building ability and creativity permeated through the pages. I could imagine the scenes easily because of Kent’s vivid descriptions of places and characters. I disliked the antagonists with a passion, but that only proves how Kent skillfully crafted these characters, and that is a trait worthy of applause.
This book is ideal for readers who enjoy sci-fi novels with a bit of family drama, romance, and Greek mythology. It is captivating and stimulating. I encourage readers to grab a copy of this book and delve into Beth’s worlds.
