Fantasy. Mystery. Young Adult Fiction. Young Adult Literature. HTML:Fans of Graceling and Six of Crows will thrill to the masterful world-building and fiercely flawed heroine in this heart-pounding follow-up to Julia Vanishes, book two in the Witch’s Child trilogy.
/>  
“Adventure, murder, romance, intrigue, and betrayal with a 16-year-old heroine that is both fierce and flawed at the same time.” —Hypable.com
 
Julia and a mismatched band of revolutionaries, scholars, and thieves have crossed the world searching for a witch. But for all the miles traveled, they are no closer to undoing the terrible spell that bound an ancient magic to the life of a small child. The evil, immortal Casimir wants that magic and every moment they hunt for the witch, Ko Dan, Casimir’s assassins are hunting them.
Julia can deal with danger. The thing that truly scares her lies within. Her strange ability to vanish to a place just out of sight has grown: she can now disappear so completely that it’s like stepping into another world. It’s a fiery, hellish world, filled with creatures who seem to recognize her—and count her as one of their own.
So . . . is Julia a girl with a monster lurking inside her? Or a monster wearing the disguise of a girl?
If she can use her monstrous power to save Theo, does it matter?
In this riveting second book in the Witch’s Child trilogy, Catherine Egan goes deep within the heart of a fierce, defiant girl trying to discover not just who but what she truly is.
 
Praise for Julia Vanishes:
 
“Egan’s debut novel sparkles. A beautifully rendered world and exquisite sense of timing ensure a page-turning experience.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
 
“Readers will find themselves immediately immersed in the narrative and invested in the fate of Julia, who is both feisty and flawed.” —Booklist, starred review
 
“Julia’s a wonderful, fully realized heroine. . . . For those readers waiting for the sequel to Marie Lu’s The Rose Society, a well-realized page-turner in the same vein.” —Kirkus

I distinctly remember enjoying the first book in this series but I struggled to get back into Julia's fictional world. I struggled to recall who many of the supporting characters were and there was not enough recapping to pique my memory. The setting, which is clearly meant to be China before the Boxer uprising, feels fake and forced to me, likely due to unnecessarily specific details which do not serve any purpose but to prove, "Hey, they went somewhere foreign!" Basically, this book needs more story and less scene but I hold out hope for the next book's awesomeness.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher for review. ( )

As of writing this review I am halfway through the book. I believe I'm going to borrow the first book before I continue reading as I feel I have already missed half the story. The start of the book with all the characters having already been introduced was a little confusing. It clearly mentioned things from the first book that you would need to read to fully understand.

That being said I do enjoy the style of writing and the plot so far. Every character seems well developed and continues to grow even in just one book. However, there does seem to be a lot of characters that sometimes I do tend to forget who is who sometimes.

I will be returning to this book once I have read the first one from my local library. ( )

I love Catherine Egan's writing, and I will always everything she publishes. Simular to Last Days of Tian Di series, which also centres around a young girl burdened with more responsibility than she can handle at least at first. I'm eagerly awaiting the the third book as this sets a good stage for it.

I loved the writing style of this book. The characters were well developed and I enjoyed reading about them. The plot keeps up a good pace and keeps you pulled in. I would recommend this book for fans of fantasy novels. ( )

I must admit I did not enjoy this book as much as the first in the series. With that said I am glad I read them so close together, and still plan on reading the third ASAP.

I never would have remembered the many characters if I had not read the two books within a week of one another. This book introduces even more characters, and offers at least one everyone can connect to. I think what really kept this book afloat for me despite not being as great as the first is Julia herself. While she was occasionally annoying and emotional (as a teenage girl myself I can say that's standard) but she was refreshing as a female YA lead. I also love her brother to pieces.

The plot in this book was more complex than the original but felt like it had to many "side quests" braided in that three things off. I liked getting more insight into Julia and all the witches powers, I liked how Bianca's character developed, and I liked that there was one important plot twist I never saw coming. It was just the over abundance of stuff happening that took away that star. ( )

I did not read the first book in this series. At the beginning of this book there are thirty-seven listings under a heading called People, Places and Things. When I started reading the book I didn't know if I was confused because I hadn't read the first book, or not. I think when reading this series it is best to start in order.
