Falcon by day. Girl by night.
Eyl has transformed against her will every day for nine years. She and her fellow captives are magically bound to their captor—and the wizard’s mental state is deteriorating. They have nearly given up hope of escape…until the night a stranger arrives at the tower.
Natural son of the High Wizard, Fee is bone-tired of war and of being his father’s pet interrogator. When he finds letters to his father offering magical experiments to assist the Damaslar war effort, Fee deserts to help them flee. He doesn’t expect to be greeted with a knife to the throat by a prickly but fascinating girl full of hidden pain and deep secrets.
The spells that trap Eyl are as layered and complex as her trust issues, and escape is only the first step. To find a refuge, Eyl and her companions must depend on each other as they cross a haunted forest and traverse a warzone while she and Fee grow from reluctant allies to something more.
But Fee’s father is not ready to let his secret magical weapons go without a fight, and Eyl can’t run from her past forever….
THE FLIGHT OF THE SPELLBOUND is a romantic fantasy adventure perfect for fans of Ladyhawke, Willow the Series, and Shannon Hale. It is the second in the Karneesia Chronicles, interconnected standalones set in the world of Karneesia

MY THOUGHTS
I really felt for the characters. They had to deal with some harsh and serious things, but I loved seeing their resiliency. I loved their friendship and strong bond. And I loved how they looked out for each other.
I loved the faith element. Eyl’s relationship with God had its ups and downs, but I loved how real it felt. I think we’ve all been mad and questioned why certain things happen, so it was refreshing to see Eyl’s struggles and ultimately her growth. I think that was my favorite part of the book.
While this book deals with some serious topics, it was all handled with grace. I appreciated the light that was shined on these topics.
My emotions ran the gamut throughout this book. Happy, sad, angry, jubilant, anxious, excited. I love when a book can make me feel so many things.
This book is the second in the series, but it completely stands alone. If you’re a fan of this genre, don’t hesitate to pick up a copy. You’ll love it! It’s going on my favorites shelf. I highly recommend it and can’t wait for Hill’s next release!
I received a copy of this book and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
FIVE STARS
