Sequels sometimes fall flat but this one exceeded my expectations. Adalyn Grace returns to the beautiful world she created and brings back all of the characters readers have already grown to love. In this sequel you find things picking up a short piece in time past the ending of All the Scars and Teeth. Trying to heal her country and herself from the curse that plagues her, this story takes Amora and Bastien on another unforgettable adventure. Full of mystery and magic and passion and friendship, this book had me from the start and hit me in the feels a few times! A well written story. I can't wait to see what Grace writes next!

I really enjoyed the first book in this series so I was excited to be able to read this one. It did not disappoint! I flew through this book and the plot was so good! I will be recommending this book to the teens at my library. Awesome read!

This book was received as an ARC from Macmillan Children's Publishing Group - Imprint in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

I am a huge fan of the fantasy adventure novel and had high expectations of this book and surely I wasn't disappointed. I am all about female empowerment and female protagonists and Amora was not only the exact description to both of those characteristics but I loved her passion and determination to save Visidia and regain her confidence as queen. In search for the artifact that will save her and Visdia, Amora learns that power comes with a great sacrifice and she learns what truly is important to her. I can't wait to have this book at our next teen book club and I know the discussions that will arise will be enlightening.

We will consider adding this title to our YA collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.
