I received this book as an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I was thrilled to be able to enter the world of Illaria again to see how Etta and her friends were faring in their war against the king. The theme of not knowing whom to trust endured through this second book of the series and gave an air of tension to every encounter with a new character.

Etta continues to learn to control her magic and starts to gain support throughout the kingdom, which is exciting. She is also faced with impossible choices and must learn to start making the hard choices to care for the people of her kingdom.

The pace was perfect and didn’t have any dry spells for me, keeping me interested until the book was done all too soon. This book is book two in a series still being written, and I cannot wait for the next book!
