"Plus, who said fighting is about keeping a poker face. Fighting is about not giving up even when you have a thousand reasons to" (pp.135).The Journey (book #2 in the An Angel's Calling series) is the ultimate adventure Khalid will face. In the first book, our protagonist went through multiple events, one after the other. He was faced with grief, loss, happiness, and a new sense of being; however, at the end of book one, he was also left with a big mission yet to accomplish.
And what was that mission - to destroy the Feno Bracelet for good and get his revenge on Noreen. The second book digs deeper into the history of the Feno Bracelet. You, the reader, get to see our antagonist's (Noreen) story. Why did she step foot onto this journey? What was her reason for chasing after this bracelet? What kinds of things has she done to get this bracelet? All these questions will be answered in The Journey.
Main themes/attributes in this book include: friendship, philosophy, poetry, grief, visions, angels, magic, and revenge.
Truly, if you have read the first book, you will see how so many things make more sense after reading the second book. From the first to the second, everything is connected, or in simpler terms, the first book is a kind of setup for the second book.
Everything in these books is there for a reason. They either represent something deeper, connect to something that happened earlier on in the book or show the reality of our dark world.
Still not convinced? No worries, here are five reasons to help you decide if this is the series for you:
- Easy readability
- Magical Realism>Fantasy>Children's Fiction
- Focus on dialogue and monologue
- 3 words to describe the series - Adventurous, meaningful, and thought-provoking

Bonus, here's another quote from "The Journey"
"Sometimes lostness feels good when you know what's waiting to be found is bad" (pp.10).
Happy reading! Have a wonderful and magical day!
