Malora
Victorious finally has a home, a family, and a Hand, but someone is still
missing: Sky. Malora has to rescue him or die trying for that horse is her
heart. But one the obstacles start lining up, it gets harder and harder for
Malora to keep everyone she loves. Can Malora remain "Victorious" as
she takes on new impossible quests?
This sequel was very disappointing after
how much I enjoyed reading the first one. Daughter of the Centaurs had
an overall goal that took the whole book to resolve, but A Gathering of
Wings starts and wraps up two goals separately. This made the book feel
less substantial, and didn't challenge Malora to grow as she had to in the
first book. The solutions came too easily, especially in the end where it
seemed like Malora stayed in the background of her own story. All this made for
a less exciting story, but romantics will be pleased with the ending.
