Jango: Book Two of the Noble Warriors Kindle Edition

4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars 33 ratings

Following the acclaimed Seeker, this YA fantasy trilogy continues as its three teenage heroes venture to save the island of Anacrea from doom.
 
Seeker, Morning Star, and the Wildman are about to discover that the Nomana, the mysterious warrior sect they were so desperate to join, is not what it appeared to be. Deeply disillusioned, the three escape and head off on quests they think are separate but soon become intertwined—and desperately life threatening. 
 
Fortunately, they have acquired the remarkable physical skills of the Noble Warriors, for they are certainly going to need them. The mighty warlord of the Orlan nation is gathering his forces and has vowed to destroy the entire island of Anacrea—and everything and everyone that crosses his path. 
    
Includes a teaser to the third book in the sequence, Noman.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

After intense isolation training, a Nomana novice named Seeker after Truth, manifests his true power along with a giddy, half-mad state he calls jango—a word he believes he has made up. But when Seeker meets a person named Jango, the stranger's prophetic words hint that the young hero's subconscious may have revealed the key to his current, crucial mission. Meantime, fellow novices Morning Star and Wildman struggle to heed the calls of their own destinies. The book's numerous protagonists walk paths pitted with uncertainty and danger, converging as the Nomana face enemies on three fronts. Themes of true faith and the corruptibility of power feel weighty and deliberate at times, but Nicholson, a successful screenwriter, knows how to entertain: a bumbling suitor's overtures are priceless ("Your mouth is as soft as a foal's, sucking the udder of love"), and one evildoer expires in a memorably horrific manner. Well plotted and paced, if a bit programmatic, this follow-up to Seeker (2006), book 1 in the Noble Warriors sequence, won't disappoint returning readers. Mattson, Jennifer

    Bought this for my daughter, who is absolutely loving it. She (14) never thought anything could outdo Seeker, but this is even better according to her. She's on a hunt for anything Nicholson has written now! She loved Seeker so much that I read it (and loved it) and then talked my husband into reading it! He also really liked it - and he's not much of a book reader.

    We're both patiently waiting for her to finish Jango so we can continue our journey as well.

    Great and entertaining book that truly catches your attention. I find it amazing that the author goes into so much detail about this religion of seekers

    I wound up with "Seeker" which is book one as a travel book. I take them when I travel so when I lose it I don't mind. I liked the book so I looked up the next two books. They were fun, low thinking books which were great for travel companions.

    This second book is the perfect bridge to the conclusive third book. I enjoyed it very much and highly recommend it.

    FYI: This is Book 2 of THE NOBLE WARRIORS series, and therefore a sequel to Seeker: Book One of the Noble Warriors. If you don't want the end of Seeker: Book One of the Noble Warriors spoiled for you, STOP! If that's not a concern, I invite you back to Anacrea.

    Seeker, Morning Star, and Wildman are with the Nomana, training to be Noble Warriors themselves. It's been nine months and they are about to face the most difficult test in their training so far. On their first day of the new lessons, Wildman does the unthinkable, and must be banished from the Nom. Seeker worries that he too will be sent away, due to the deal he made to get Wildman into training in the first place. Morning Star is despondent at the loss of her friend.

    Meanwhile, a new threat is approaching Anacrea, and destroying everything and everyone that gets in its way. When the new threat joins forces with the old, what will become of Anacrea? And where does that leave the Nomana?

    For the first time the Nom is divided. How far should they and will they go to protect the people of Anacrea and their home? And now that Seeker seems to have acquired limitless power, what should be done about him? How much power is too much?

    This may seem like a pretty vague description of the story, but I don't want to give too much away. The book starts out fast and full, and keeps right on going. It's a fast read, but only because so much keeps happening that you don't want to put it down! So much changes for the three friends, but that's part of growing up. Not only does this book progress well through time and characters, it sucks you further into its universe. Almost to the point where when you come up for air you're surprised to find yourself surrounded by the world you usually live in. If the books keep going like this... Let's just say I can't wait to read the next one!

    As my first encounter with author William Nicholson (author of the Wind Singer & Firesong), I was greatly impressed by this spectacularly thrilling tale. I adore fast-paced adventure full of intense drama and exciting twists, hence I fell instantly in love with this book after reading the blurb. `Jango' is the second book within the noble warriors trilogy and which beautifully blends fantasy fiction with a contemporary edge ~ totally original and fresh. The characters acts of courage or calculated cruelty have such recognizable humanity within them and make this tale feel so `real' as to bring it vividly to life. The expert world-building is simply spectacular and I love how cleverly plotted the action scenes were, so as to strike a harmonious balance between drama, dialogue and detailed narrative.

    This is a thrilling story of integrity shaped in the face of corruption and vaulting ambition, with a brilliant cast of teenage characters who are relevant and individually interesting. Amid plenty of action are moral messages and inner meaning that touches you, with such thought-provoking truth and sincerity.

    Continuing on from `Seeker' (book 1) this installment discloses the real meaning behind the power of the noble warriors. Seeker, Morning Star and Wildman are going to need this new found knowledge as the mighty Warlord of Orlan has joined forces with the Empire of Radiance ~ in an attempt to defeat the noble warriors. As two separate armies join together in one great attack, it is these three teens and the noble warriors who must make the final stand to prevent what could happen - the end of all things...

    This remarkable epic adventure, from a writer who is at the top of his game, is truly breathtaking and highly memorable. I am now keen to read `Noman' the last book within this astonishing trilogy that is an inspired concept of pure genius and rare talent!

    Seeker and Jango are wonderfully crafted stories with Seeker-After-Truth as the main character desperate to become a Noble Warrior of the Nomana who protect the weak and bring their religion to the world. Can’t wait for third installment Nomana to be on Kindle.

    The trilogy as a whole was very good, and worth reading.

    I had read the Wind On Fire trilogy prior to this, and the Noble Warriors Trilogy doesn't quite hit the same standard. I also felt like some of the themes and issues tackled, and even the manner in which they were done, were a little too similar.

    Nicholson is a brilliant writer. His books aren't long but have such a sense of scope and the writing shows intelligence and an observant eye as well as humorous moments (the occasional Oscar Wilde type line rather than farcical humour).
