Ever the Brave by Erin Summerill - ADVISABLE

Summerill, Erin Ever the Brave (Clash of Kingdoms #2), 464 pages.  Houghton Mifflin, DEC 2017.  $18.  Language: PG-13 (36 swears, 0 ‘f’); Mature Content: PG (share body heat for warmth); Violence: PG (battles)

Lord Jamis is in the dungeon, but Phelia, the evil Channeler is on the run.  While Cohen pursues her into Shaeridan, but finds out that it was a distraction while Phelia and other conspirators carry out their plans to usurp King Aodren’s throne.  While Britta is getting used to the implications of her new bond with Aodren, Phelia comes, with awful news for both Britta personally and the kingdom as a whole.  Britta will have to figure out how to use her new Channeler powers and control them for good if she is going to save the entire kingdom and herself.

The romantic tension ticks up a notch as the bond between Cohen and Britta is broken and Aodren enters the picture.  For girls who love romantic fantasy this is an easy call.
