Review: Trickster

Trickster by Christina Bauer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Aldred has a new plan.  He plans to open a portal to a world called the Primeval to release an arbor.  All he needs to do is kill a tree.  But this isn’t any tree; it is the Contagion (an evil wizard).  Now that the wizard is loose, he travels through the portal and steals the life force of children.  Someone needs to go after him.  This is where Lincoln and Myla enter the story.  This duo is used to fighting together, but neither knows anything about the Primeval.  Peli may be willing to help them along the way, but since he is a trickster monkey, the fun is just beginning.  What new forces will this couple need to face in this latest fight?

 

Trickster is the third book in the Angelbound Lincoln series.  Bauer explains before the story begins that this book happens before many of the books already released, but she was able to write it without spoilers if you are reading it out of order (or as a standalone).  This adventure is told in the alternating voices of Lincoln and Myla, so readers will know more about what is occurring then either character separately.  This story is full of fighting and backstabbing.  Also, since Myla and Lincoln are still dating, they have a lot of physical tension they are dealing with.  Although you can read this as a standalone, I suggest all readers at least start with the first Angelbound Lincoln book.
