I was given this book by the publisher in return for an honest review.
We continue to learn the truths about the magical world and the forbidden toushanna that Quell has accepted. Still trying to figure out what to do with herself after her "failed" cotillion, Quell is on a quest to find her mother. But no one in her life is who or what they seem. For someone unlikely to trust it seems her choices are always questionable.
After being betrayed by those closest to her Quell turns to someone that should be the least likely to help. But are their motives pure?
Will the sphere contain magic? Or will it fade into oblivion.
We continue to watch our main characters growth. While throwing in a third for a different perspective. The secrets of the magical world continue to unravel and even the most honorable seem to be swayed.
I cannot wait to continue reading this series. I am really enjoying it! Definitely a favorite read so far this year!

Mysterious, roller coaster of events. It brings in 2 new povs which is amazing I love a good multi POV book. The events in this book aren't as gripping as book one but it seems to be a building up and laying a foundation for an exciting 3rd book! Quell and Jordan and how book 1 ended leave you wanting more in book 2 and it brings the tension needed for their relationship. I did get a bit bored because it is a lot more information about the houses and the people. But overall loved this book and recommend this series.
