Way too short. ( )

After finishing [b:The Pearl|8597478|The Pearl (The Pearl Trilogy, #1)|Geoffrey Knight|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1279472618s/8597478.jpg|13467246], the first book in this trilogy I was immediately compelled to begin this, the second book. Because these stories and the way they are written allowed for nothing else. They are beautiful and profound and wonderful!

And Billy Shakespear made me laugh out loud! His voice was too, too perfect!

Now I just have to wait until I can find book 3.

11/May/2014 (Re-read for the 2014 Re-Romancing Favorites Challenge) - Still love Billy! On second read, I did want to smack Jad upside the head once or twice! ;)

I still haven't been able to find book 3 on its own. I do resent having to re-purchase Book 1 and Book 2 in order to access Book 3, Firestick. ( )

I feel like this story just tore me apart and waited until the last minute to put me back together. Book two is just as beautifully written as book one, but the emotions go deeper this time and I am so completely attached to these two characters that I want book three NOW!!

Jarrah and Luke are separated when Jarrah goes to uni to begin his medical studies. Luke stays behind and works on getting his pilot's license to fulfill his dream of joining the Royal Flying Doctors as a pilot.

For the first time Jarrah is exposed to a larger and much different world. And there is the handsome American, Brandon, offering things that Jarrah had thought were out of his reach. When Luke goes missing in a plane crash, Jarrah rushes home and sets out to find him with the help of an Aborigine elder. I loved this part. The thought that native peoples have a stronger connection to Mother Earth than we can even conceive of is so intriguing and inspiring.

I won't spoil the story for you, but Jarrah has some difficult choices to make and it is uncertain what he will choose until the end of the story. His last words in the book were a bit of a shock for me, but not unwelcome. I hope Geoffrey Knight doesn't make us wait too long for part three of the trilogy! ( )
