Der erste Teil war schon spannend was im zweiten Teil genau so ist. Freue mich schon auf den nächsten Teil.. Mit fiesem Cliffhanger am Ende

I wasn't quite connecting with this one and I had to DNF with the possibility of picking up in the future. Bahhhh, I hate doing this. Thank you for the opportunity to read the book and I apologize for the inconvenience.

I loved this book! There is suspense and a touch of mystery but it’s also historical in a way that is so fun and playful. The characters are great and I enjoyed the story all around.

Alyson Noel does not disappoint!! The second book was just as good as the first and kept me wanting more! I even caught myself enjoying Killian's character (which you totally shouldn't by the way) but that's how good she is at writing and tricking you into wondering who's the good guy and who's the bad guy in the situation! And I love the development between Elodie and Natasha's character, and how we saw more insight on what truly happened to Natasha's dad. Let's just say l'm excited to see what happens next!

I loved the first one of this and this one was an amazing sequel to it I felt Alyson Noel will always be a top ten author for me when she writes new books I need them ever since I read the immortals series

I was so excited to read the second book in this series and it didn’t disappoint! Ruling Destiny was fast paced, full of twists and turns, and had me hooked from start to finish. I loved returning to this world and these characters. This is probably one of my favorite YA series, there’s mystery/intrigue, time travel, romance, and secrets upon secrets. 100% recommend.

Thank you to Entangled Teen and NetGalley for a copy of this book. All opinions in this book are my own.

Ms. Alyson - can you STOP with making my emotions and thoughts be all over the place?! This was a fantastic sequel to Stealing Infinity, and it is still the only openly time-travel book series that I am dying to read. I normally hate time-travel but somehow this series doesn't bother me and in fact deals with some of the issues that I normally have. But the betrayal? The double-crossing? The reveals? AMAZING. I knew some of the *surprises* that were coming because they were set up pretty clearly from the first book, but then some of them that happened? Jaw on floor, dying for book three. I don't know what it is about this series, but I love it. When does book three come out? Cause I need it now. 10/10 Alyson and Entangled!

Ruling Destiny is the second book in Alyson Noel’s Stealing Infinity series.

Ruling Destiny was one of those stories that made me excited that I decided to read it. I was hooked from the very beginning until the last page.

I really enjoyed the twists and turns of this novel, Natasha reeling over who and what she can trust. It really did make my head spin but it was a fun journey nonetheless.

I could not wait to get my hands on this one. Especially after finishing the first book in the series. From the character build, the twists and turns and everything in between, I was so captivated by Noel's storytelling. I am so looking forward to what is to come!

I really enjoyed this second installment. I was a little concerned I was going to have issues remembering what happened in book 1, but as soon as I started reading this, it all came flooding back.

Maybe I should have known and seen the twist coming, but I didn't. I actually spent most of the book liking Killian over Braxton - maybe I'm crazy or I just have an insane weakness for characters named Killian. So when everything happened (iykyk) I was completely shocked. Dont get me wrong, I loved it but omfg I wasn't ready.
On top of all the drama going on in Natasha's personal life, the whole history element is still so good. I'm a massive fan of these kind of stories that use history to solve modern day mysteries - its so fun and keeps you so invested in what's going on.

I can't wait to read the next one and see what's going to happen next!

This is definitely one of my new favorite YA series. Time travel, murder and intrigue all mixed together to create the perfect storm of a truly fantastic book. Tasha now knows exactly why she is there at Gray Wolf, as well as why her father never came home. The love triangle has most definitely been broken and she seems to have become friends with the person she thought she couldn’t trust at all. I can’t wait to find out what will happen next and am impatiently waiting for the next installment in this series!!!

The Story was gripping from start to finish. I loved how the story continued smoothly with the ending in book 1. I couldn't put the book down. Definitely a 5 Star read!

The second visit to this world certainly did not disappoint! The setting of Florence was absolutely delightful and I found myself excited to revisit Gray Wolf and Natasha. The adventurous spirit and magical influences in this book were enthralling and I can only hope that, in the future, my love of this world and all that is involved will be fulfilled in a fresh and exciting way! I absolutely recommend this book!

3,5/5 ⭐

I definitely liked this book better than Stealing Infinity. Some of the same things kept bothering me, but on the other hand I was waaaaaay more invested in the story this time. It doesn’t take long to remember what the first book was about again because there are various hints dropped in the first chapters to get you up to speed. De writing style is also very fluent and inviting. Although, just like in book one, certain things are more being told than shown. Sometimes even seemingly coming out of the blue, instead of being slowly and discreetly woven into the story before the big reveal. The thing that bothered me the most is that the secrets being revealed to Tascha in the last 20% of the book are things you already know as a reader from the very beginning of the book because they are mentioned in the prologue that’s being told from another POV. Additionally, Tascha’s decisions and actions made me frown more than once. Nonetheless it was an enjoyable read.

Thank you Netgalley for this eARC.

I was so excited for the second installment in this series! I couldn’t wait to be back and this book didn't disappoint. I loved the continued exploration of Grey Wolf and the world within its walls. This book also takes them to Florence, which is one of my favorite places in the world. I love hearing about things I’ve seen old when they were new. This is a YA book in both characters age and contents. I love slipping back into the mind of a teenage girl. It’s just all so dramatic there.

This book was just as good as the first one! I have to say that Alyson Noel's writing has seriously improved since her first book series (that I read years and years ago). I am very invested in what's going to happen to Natasha and her friends, and to see who really isn't her friend as well! Definitely kept me entertained and I read through it in less than 2 days!
