Wild Savage Stars continues the intense and heart wrenching journey begun in Sweet Black Waves. Perez gives us intensely personal interactions, strong characters and complex story arcs, all while providing increasing momentum that will easily enthrall readers as the series continues. Twisted loyalties and half-truths lie just below the surface in this exciting sequel -- readers will need time to recuperate after finishing this novel!

This book makes my heart hurt. But like, in a good way. I know the story of Tristan and Isolde, and I was hoping that maybe-maaaaaaaaaaybe the author would change it up a bit. I love Branwen so much. She is an amazing protagonist. It's really a feat when you can love a book and be mad at it at the same time.

Oh no! I’ve finished book 2! How will I wait until book 3 comes out? This novel begins right where the last left off. Essy, Branny, and Tristan have arrived for the wedding of King Marc and Princess Essy. Due to the circumstances aboard the ship, Essy claims Tristan as her Champion and Branny is required to serve Essy as well.

A new family joins in. They are Ruan, his mother, sister, and sweet younger brother. Ruan’s sister has eyes for Tristan, who loves both Branny and Essy. Ruan, a lady’s man, tries to court Branny, all while the royal wedding begins to take shape.

Healers, pirates, and assassins threaten the lives of the royals, and Branny shows her strength as well as her darker side. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to be an early reader in exchange for my review. Now excuse me while I mourn the end of this book, as I look forward to book 3. Kristina Pérez has another winner!
