The story in this book is very good. It's pretty much a girl power story, and I really enjoyed that aspect of it and getting to watch Aura's growth as the story progresses.
The characters are mostly well crafted... and then there's Viggo. After reading Bende's other leading men, I'm baffled by how little we get from him in this book. It's like he doesn't even exist until he speaks up, and even then it's flat and doesn't give us anything to work with. It's almost as if this series was written without a romance at all, and then it was added in after the fact. As a huge romance lover I was incredibly disappointed by it. I wanted that love that makes your heart swell, even around the heat of battle like the rest of Bende's books, and it just didn't have that.
The story itself was good and I really enjoy Aura and her friends. If you're looking for some romance in here, though, you may as well pass. I'm still holding out hope that Bende will make up for it with the last book!

Princess Aura now the Leader of Alfheim and Viggo, who is also helping Aura with her powers, face more challenges, in bringing the realm back to the way it was before all the destruction and finding and keeping their allies and family and friends safe, and they are going to take them by storm and hopefully come through them in Dark Faerie. Princess Aura and Viggo are just Perfekt for each other I just love this series and cant wait for the next book

As always, another great read from Ms. Bende. I have yet to be disappointed in her books and this book delivers! It continues right where book 1 left off so you definitely need to start the series before you pick up this book. Aura is full of spunk with great character build and getting to know her friends Thales you for a ride. Viggo is...... a little unknown so I’m hoping they’ll be more in the next book so we can get to know him. Overall, another great read and can’t recommend this enough!
