MY THOUGHTS
All of the characters came to life. Thea was a strong and determined leading lady who I was cheering for in her quest to find a way to change the fate of the Mortal Queens.
I was completely engrossed in this story. I was glued to the pages and didn’t want to set it aside for anything. There were so many unexpected twists and surprising turns, I was constantly kept guessing. I had no idea how things were going to end.
This was such an imaginative and twisty tale. And while it felt like my heart completely shattered a couple of times, things came together in such a brilliant way in the end. I was so happy that all my questions were answered. I know I’ll be wanting to read this series again and again. It’s my new favorite series featuring the fae. Needless to say, I highly, highly recommend it. If you’re a fan of this genre, you’ll love it! It’s a must read.
I received a copy of this book and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
FIVE STARS
It's not often that a sequel surpasses the first book in a duology like this. Sounds like both of these will be on your favorites list at the end of the year. :D
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! I was a little worried that it couldn't live up to the first one but was so happy that it did. :D
