Cameron Battle and the Escape Trials wraps up what was started in book one. This concluding novel picks up about a few months after the events of book one.
Now, I did not enjoy this book as much as book one, but it had a satisfying ending. I think what was missed in this book was a lot of the heart that book one had. I do enjoy that the relationship between Cameron and Zion was fleshed out a little more, but the story kind of forced it. Now that is not me saying it is a bad thing, I just wished it felt more fluid. I love seeing LGBTQ+ representation in middle grade though. I know this book is titled "Escape Trials," but that part of the book was a meager 10 pages or so. Seemed like a missed opportunity. I know what your thinking, "It's just a title," but it really felt like an after thought, the Escape Trials.
Jamar J. Perry is just starting out as an author, and I think the Cameron Battle series shows a lot of promise. I am really looking forward to seeing Jamar J. Perry continue his journey as a published author.
