A review by literary_snowflakes
Guardian of the Drowned Empire by Frankie Diane Mallis

5.0

Better than the first!

My goodness, I thought the first book was pretty good but this one blew it out of the water. So much happens in this book with almost non-stop action and character development. The pacing of the book was excellent, not too fast to where you feel like you missed things and it didn’t drag along. I feel like the first book dragged, but mostly because it set up the stage for this stunning sequel.

Questions from the first were answered for the most part but then a slew of more questions appeared.

The romance was there, but didn’t completely dominate or diminish the larger story. In fact, I believe that it added to the character development and tension between multiple people.

Cannot wait for the sequel!
