Gemena: Book Two in the Timelock Series (Timelock Trilogy 2)

By Paul Brooks of the Whanganui Chronicle

Judeth Scott’s second book in her Gemena series takes her heroine on another fantastic ride across the planet of her invention.
Kate has escaped the circumstances that brought her from her beloved Earth and her own time to a time-locked existence as an exhibit.
The first book has her waking from the induced sleep and fleeing to the safety of Gemena and “civilization”.
This beautifully wrought sequel gives her a home in the royal palace of the Empress Desera in Amberis, the capital city of Gemena. There she takes her place as guardian of the royal children and a curiosity as an attractive young woman of mystery.
The author writes in the first person, giving us a view of this amazing world through her own, imaginative eyes. Using lessons learned on Earth, Kate enhances the new civilisation in which she lives, and learns new things besides. She meets creatures of legend, resides in sumptuous beauty, but still has to use all her skills to face the evils that are present wherever free choice prevails.
Judeth Scott has combined her love of legend and a rich imagination to weave plots and create unforgettable characters in a story filled with wonder. Romance, action and Fantasy combine in a tale worth the telling and told remarkably well.
This reviewer looks forward to reading the final book of the trilogy - I need to know what happens.
