New Lands (The Chronicles of Egg, #2)

Book Rating
Egg and Guts are headed to the New Lands to try to find the treasure map they've found. But their journey will be dangerous with hostile Natives and a settlement that has an edict against foreigners. Will they survive long enough to explore the wilderness?

A great middle grade novel, this one picks up where the first one ended (so read it first). The characters are fun, charming, and feel real. The plot takes some great twists and I was shocked a time or two by what Egg learns along the way. Can not wait for the third and final book to come out.

NOTE: I won an ARC of this book in a contest.

Alliance: Heroes of the Spire
Games
Alliance is one of those mobile RPGs where you gain heroes and fuse them together to power them up. It takes a fair amount of strategy to decide which heroes to keep and which to "eat." The battles are turn-based--you can choose to play them manually or set the game to automatic. There is also a variety of things to do: gather armor, mine for gems, explore rifts for treasure, etc., and that's not including the main campaign.

I like Alliance because you don't need cash to have a fun experience with it. The art is pleasant to look at, and as I said, the mechanics are amusing. I imagine this is one of those apps where I'll be obsessed with it for a few months and then forget about it entirely, but in the meantime, yay
