Well, this just gave me absolutely everything I wanted in a sequel, and SO much more. Messy, confusing relationships? Check. Bree wrestling with her power and the responsibility she feels to the Order and her ancestors? Check. A billion new big bad threats, all more surprising and complicated than the last? Um, hell yeah.

I love the whole world Deonn has built here; filled with legend and magic but grounded in real issues and as diverse as they come, it's an absolute joy to get lost in Bree's story. To the extent that I eked out the end for days because I didn't want it to end. This is a series that's ripe for reading over and over and over.

Oh, and lots more Selwyn please, thank you.

rape is a part of the plot and is brought up multiple times but is never described or shown. large parts of the plot involve slavery but i don't think they go into detail about what happened then, just implied. others are racist towards the characters multiple times

Not a perfect book but still so damn good. I care so much about these characters and their fates and cannot wait for the next book.

Note: How this book is classified as medium paced is beyond me. It is the definition of fast paced if I've ever seen one. These poor kids barely get to rest.

Tracy Deonn has done it again. I felt like I was on that rollercoaster again and each time the drops got higher and higher. I love when authors can make me feel things and this was amplified with BloodMarked. For the sequel to be just as compelling as the first book which also was a debut book??? Stunning. The stakes were higher and we even got introduced to new characters that really helped moved the story along. They had their own personalities and even were entertaining. Nothing seemed forced or out of place. It really was an experience to read this book, and I once again am speechless. Like mind blown. I am so glad Tracy wrote these books. She’s a real one.

What can I say about this series that hasn't already been said?

What I loved:

• the complexity of the relationships between Bree, Sel, and Nick that are continually developed in this second book
• Alice is the most epic best friend ever
• a challenging conversation about politics, power, racism, & what it's actually like to try to break down barriers
• an identity crisis that isn't so much a crisis as it is an exploration
• have I mentioned that Sel is my entire heart?

Literally the only complaint I have is that I have no idea when I will get another installment in this series, and I didn't want it to end.
