Natalie Barns is falling apart. Since returning from Fourline, she’s tried desperately to focus on the world in front of her—the one of classes, money, and family. But the wound in Natalie’s shoulder from her final encounter with the Nala radiates pain constantly throughout her days, while her nights are tormented by terrifying dreams of the Nala—and of Soris, the rebel fighter she failed to protect.
Seeking refuge from what plagues her, Natalie returns to the costume shop and discovers her wound is much more dangerous than she ever could have imagined. What she learns sets her on an inexorable path back to the kingdom of Fourline. If she’s to have a chance of survival, she must confront Soris’ fate and the fears that have been festering in her heart—or the Nala remnant will change her life forever.

Okay, for starters, I love fantasy and escapism books. And I love the premise of this book - the magical, other world portal was inventive and clever. But It reads as though the author wasn't experienced enough as a writer, or too impatient to get where she wanted to go in the story, because there are many illogical decisions made by the main character and very artificial timelines. Other than that, writing is easy to read and story-line flows nicely, with enough interesting elements to keep me reading, despite the artificial way Natalie is forced to re-enter Fourline.My two main issues, which are with the setup for this second book, are below. SPOILER WARNING!!
1. For those who read the first book, you may recall she had a scratch or bite on her shoulder. But rather than tell the Sister of her wound when coming out of the portal, she never spoke to any of those people again for over a month. If I just saw my companion turn blue and into a duozi because of a Nala bite, wouldn't I ask about my wound? She still could have made the timeline work so no return to Fourline happened until the school breaks, but making the supposedly bright and intelligent lead character so moronic not to ask the Sisters about her wound was illogical...so she asks the infirmary at school 2x's - and they are puzzled because it is so different from anything they know - but not the sisters? Just illogical.
2. And if the sisters were so intent to train Natalie before she went into Fourline so that she would be able to protect herself, wouldn't one of the trainings include "in Fourline, if you do come across a blue creature, you need to cut off its head to kill it." The logic of, "Oh, we thought the marking on your would be protection enough!" doesn't make sense because then why teach her to fight at all?

On the Meldon Plain The Fourline Trilogy Book 2 eBook Pam Brondos Reviews
This series is a fantastic fresh take on the traditional quest tale with a strong female protagonist.
Nat is a bit hit for me as I am truly excited about female leads who are smart, humble, sensible and easy to connect to. You easily understand and support all her choices, cheer her on, and get excited for her. Thank you for creating a character I can relate to and has some realistic depth.
The dual worlds have a nice tangible feel as do most of the other characters.
Love this series! Well written.
Meldon Plain has it all, adventure, romance and like its predecessor, a unique twist on the fantasy genre. I'm a huge fan of parallel world stories, like Narnia. Gates of Fourline pulled me in from the get-go, with it's capable heroine, unique love story and a well-rounded ensemble cast of characters. I was thrilled when I discovered the next installment was already available and like before, dove right in. Natalie left things in a bad lurch last time. Her family is estranged, she's been avoiding her new friends and she carries the scars from her last journey to Fourline. Desperate times call her back, this time as the warrior she pretended to be before. Fourline grows in breadth and legend in this second part of the trilogy. The Nala are eerie and frightening as they should be and Natalie has come into her own as a Warrior Sister. I loved watching her journey as they embark on a rescue mission and join forces with the resistance and exiled Sisters. Excited to see where our characters end up next! Now I have to go pre-order the sequel...
Overall, this is a good book. However, there were three problems that kept me from truly enjoying it.
First, the constant bickering and infighting. A small band of adventurers is sent on a dangerous mission to retrieve an important prisoner from the heart of enemy territory. Yes, there is understandable character conflict between these people, but they take it way too far. Every moment is spent either verbally or physically fighting with each other. The lack of cooperation and the constant hostility was severely annoying and should have lead to the downfall of the mission.
Second, the lack of logic. Several of the arguments and major character decisions are based on faulty logic. Some of this could be explained away by claiming that the character is not meant to be acting logically, but when it keeps happening, it is hard to justify. This lack of critical thinking made some of the character feel one dimensional.
Third, major plot hole. If the party, despite all their hangups, was able to accomplish what they did, then some of the fringe sisters or rebels should have long ago assassinated the Chemist and the tyrant. ( Apologies for being so vague, but didn't want to have major spoilers.)
I continue to enjoy this series. Reading others' reviews (on Goodreads) has left me with the conclusion that I am simple-minded and should never read anything beyond YA literature. So be it. I liked this book well enough to lose quite a bit of sleep reading it. Sure, some parts are better than others and I could gladly throttle some of the characters. However, conflict helps make the story more interesting than if everything flowed smoothly. Nat does seem to regress somewhat and her doggedness to find a cure for those bitten by the Nala is over the top. Guilt, yes; single-minded obsession is pretty annoying. It amazes me that it took her so long to find what is hopefully the answer. Why did she limit herself to only experimenting with the flowers instead of the whole plant? And what the heck have the healing sisters been doing all this time?
I also want to know who created the portal that is used to move from one world into another. I sort of got my curiosity answered as to why Sister Barba (I think that's her name) and her husband haven't returned to Fourline. Are they expecting a mass exodus that the need to keep it open? Inquiring minds want to know. (Note Part of this opinion may reference happenings in Book 3 which I had started reading when I wrote this)
Okay, for starters, I love fantasy and escapism books. And I love the premise of this book - the magical, other world portal was inventive and clever. But It reads as though the author wasn't experienced enough as a writer, or too impatient to get where she wanted to go in the story, because there are many illogical decisions made by the main character and very artificial timelines.
