I enjoyed this book more than the first! Jack and Alexia know their lineage now and they know all about the prophecy. They are coming to terms with their powers too.

A lot happens in this book and it is all starting to come together. The plot ramps up and we learn more about the Assassin and the Author. Loyalties are tested and hard choices must be made in order for the prophecy to be fulfilled. Both children have their own path filled with danger and treachery that can either save the world of destroy it.

Alexia really comes into her own in this story. She is faced with situations that confound her and she is manipulated to believe things, but she stays strong and follows her heart. Jack is finding it hard to know who to trust and Arthur is another character that really shines in this!!

In all, another exciting and entertaining read! I'm interested in seeing where the author is taking the story from here and look forward to reading the next book.
