The secret of the AEthereals is out - yes, Dragons are real and they have been protecting Earth and us for millenniums.
I love this series.
Mr. Wilcox has taken our Dragon legends and turned them into Protectors of the Earth…the only planet on which their young can be born and raised. Once humans discovered nuclear power and started playing with nuclear bombs, the AEthereals made themselves known to Presidents and struck a deal. Now, in “AEthereal Revealed,” the whole world will learn of this species.
Mr. Wilcox sets new dangers for his characters we met in “AEthereal,” as well as takes his readers in new directions of space and existence and questions.
This is part of my reasoning for loving this series – new directions. Some book sequels stay within the comfort levels of the previous books. The storyline continues with the same characters, staying safe and heroic, and just places new problems to be overcome. Mr. Wilcox does this; however, he moves his series forward to new planets and a larger scale of solving old world problems – disease, human expansion, and energy.
Mr. Wilcox does not sugarcoat those who do not welcome these positive changes the AEthereal’s bring. These people have the same greed and prejudice even when faced with new opportunities.
Do you have a problem with favourite characters, whether established or newly introduced ones, those characters who face challenges and danger, but always come out unscathed? I do and I don’t.
I do because it begins to be boring that no matter what is thrown at a character; you know they will always survive. I don’t because I never want to lose a favourite character. Mr. Wilcox pulls a few tricks with a few of my Book 1 favourites and some new favourites. Am I upset? Well, maybe a little; however, ask me if these tricks make for a better read. Yes, they do. Thank you, Mr. Wilcox. Another reason to love this series.
So, what do we have for Book 2 in the AEthereal series? The world learns of the AEthereals. Some humans are thrilled while some don’t want any change. Some AEthereals aren’t too happy about the conditions placed on their newfound freedom. New planets and species are discovered. Some favourites are changed. Ah, yes, the Grays are still a threat to Earth, but also might we be visiting the other Guardians, too?
What if Dragons were real? What if there really was a secret species living amongst us? Come join me while I read Mr. Wilcox’s take on these questions, you won’t be disappointed.
