Locked in his dank, underground cell King Erich is feverish and dying. Running out of time and running out of hope he sends his daughter, the beautiful Princess Ursula, on a seemingly impossible quest. She must find the lost and ruined Temple of Life and secure the key that may mean the difference between freedom and slavery for the Kingdoms of Kaynos.
Meanwhile his son, the young druid Slade, continues his own quest to find his beloved father and stop the evil witch Shallendara in her plans for conquest. Betrayed by those they thought were friends and hunted from all directions Slade's quest seems as impossible as Ursula's. With more questions than answers Slade and his companions seek out the great Dragon Clans to the north for assistance.
Yet Shallendara's quest for ultimate power will not be stopped so easily. Already her forces are gathering and war, once hoped to be avoided, is now imminent. Her allies the Oz'ke'lati and their psychic warriors seem almost unstoppable and the Kingdoms fate hangs in the balance.

"Ursula's Quest", book two of the Witchcraft Wars by Tracey Alley, takes us further into the fascinating world of magic and witchcraft the author has set up for us in the first book (Erich's Plea). This time, the focus is on Ursula. She is the sister of Slade, the former crown prince of Vestland turned druid. Ursula, together with her childhood friend, Ming, a warrior monk from the Black Lotus monastery, sets out on a mission to save her father, King Erich, who has been imprisoned by the witch Shallendara. At the same time, but unbeknownst to Ursula, her brother Slade and his companions set out with the same goal, to save the king and the country from an impending war and destruction. In addition, the magician, Lord Nexus, a former student and lover of Shallendara, also tries to gain power over her and thwart her plans. For that, he allies himself with the knight Lord Michael. Nexus, however, has his own, possibly sinister, agenda."Ursula's Quest" is once again full of intriguing characters and fast-paced, fascinating events. I love the many references to ancient myths. Having three parallel plots in one book could easily lead to confusion in an author less skilled than Tracey Alley. I found the transitions seamless and the overall story easy to follow. And once again, I felt "at home" in her fantasy world and could identify with the motley crew of characters.
All in all, again a real treat. The one criticism I have: I think the book could have benefited from one more editing pass. The plot could have been tightened a little in certain places and some of the grammatical blunders cleaned up. Yes, I know, those darn English comma rules (I struggle with them all the time). Well-placed commas, however, make for greater clarity and improve the pacing. This, however, didn't prevent me from enjoying the story and I look forward to part three!

Ursula Quest Book Two of the Witchcraft Wars eBook Tracey Alley Geoff Armstrong Angela Armstrong Ronnell Porter Reviews
Storyline Since I've already used the "right up my alley" pun already, I'm just going to be blunt and say Ursula's Quest was wonderful. Tracey Alley has picked where she left off with Erich's Plea and continued with a new, exciting story that is hard to put down and leaves the reader clamoring for more!
Ursula is plagued with dreams of her father's voice telling her that she must find the missing key to save the kingdoms. She must leave the safety of the Monks of the Black Lotus and strike out across the desert lands of Kemet to reach the Temple of Life and she must do so even at the risk of her unborn child.
All the while, Slade and his companions are fighting their way across the wilds to find his father and try to stop the evil witch from winning a war that will surely end their world as they know it.
Grammar/Spelling I think another beta-read would be a great idea. And it might help with the comma conundrum of which there is a lack of. (There is a lack of commas, not the conundrums. There are plenty of challenges...the key, the Dark One, the upcoming war... A LOT of conundrums abound in the story...)
Character Development As usual, Ms. Alley's characters are both well-defined and quite captivating. With Ursula's Quest, we really get to dive into Slade's sister side of the story and learn how she came to be part of the Black Lotus. Like Slade, she wants nothing more than to find her father and save the kingdom from the evil witch, Shallendara's, plan to conquer the kingdom and let chaos reign. She worries that her unborn child will keep her from making the ultimate and difficult decision of choosing to fight and risking the baby or fighting and losing everything that is important to her.
Writing Style The writing style is fluid and easy to follow. Again, Ms. Alley has incorporated her knowledge of ancient religions into the history and beliefs of her fantasy realm. Ursula and her traveling companion, Ming, travel to the Temple of Life and find that they must make it through a series of tests in order to reach their goal the missing key. This is very closely related to the path that the ancient Egyptians' souls traveled to Heaven. Since I love all things Egyptian, (except maybe all that heat - c'mon! Couldn't they live in a more a temperate climate? Maybe even closer so I wouldn't have to travel so far to see the pyramids?!) I really enjoyed those details and loved the use of the Reverse Confession.
Continuity No issues with continuity.
Overall Rating 4+
Ursula's Quest written by the talented and charming, Tracey Alley is fantasy at some of its best! Ms. Alley keeps you interested without being too heavy handed with the fantasy aspect that some novels rely heavily upon. This journey is not only about elves, trolls and magic, it is about love and the recognition that there is something stronger than evil in the world faith.
I anticipate that the rest of Ms. Alley's series will be as fresh and exciting as the first two books have been. I would recommend this story to all ages and especially anyone who is just starting out in the fantasy genre. Good job, Trace!
I am loving this series and am eager to get my hands on the third book. I won the first book Erich's Plea in a Goodreads giveaway and quickly purchased this second story on my kindle. I have really enjoyed reading both of Alley's stories and can only hope that #3 is not far off!
Update Through emails with Alley I have discovered that Slade's Destiny #3 in the Witchcraft Wars series is slated to come out at the end of this month. I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys fantasy; I am so eager to read the final book in this series!
The book is in need of proof reading and editing. More so than the first in the series. The storyline is good, picking up right where the first in the series finished.
I'm totally hooked on this series. The depth of this world is amazing and the interwoven story lines deftly told. Despite the formatting being corrupted in places this is a must read for fantasy lovers.
