The four main characters of the Falling
Kingdom series return to fight for the kingdom of Mytica. Cleo, who has lost her family and her first
love to the tyrant King Gaius, is forced to marry Gaius’s son Magnus, all the
while she is quietly gathering information that might give her the upper hand
in reclaiming her land. Magnus for all
of this gruffness, is losing faith in his violent father’s rule. Jonas, the rebel leader has been humbled
after leading his rebels into many losing battles, but he starts to help Cleo
in the hopes of finding peace for all three kingdoms of Mytica. But all the individuals and their struggles
pale in comparison to Lucia, the prophesied sorceress, who is starting to
understand her magical powers and her central role in bringing the immortals
back to earth and possibly giving the throne to her father King Gaius.
This book is AWESOME! I love the entire series, and wait anxiously
to read more about my favorite characters in this battle-scared land of
Mytica. The violence is shocking and
there is a lot of it, but it isn’t gratuitous—it moves the storyline along
and/or develops characters. I love this
series and I love that each book is as good as the first. The action and
romance don’t slow down and the story takes turns that are interesting and keep
the series moving. Excellent
writing-also the audiobook reader is fantastic.
