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

5.0

“But first, Lyriana, remember who you are. Remember you can do this. No ropes can hold you. No cage can trap you.”

I officially am hooked and by hooked I mean completely and utterly obsessed with this series. I loved the first book, but THIS book - upped the ante even more.

Guardian picks up right where the last book ended and while the beginning had a slower pace (not a bad thing!) the last half of the book had me white knuckled holding my kindle. The action was so thrilling and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough!

Things I loved:
Learning more of Rhyan’s back story
The masked ball
Lyr continuing to become stronger and more confident
The TENSION - the angst is palpable through the pages
The twists - Frankie had two twists that I did it see at all coming and I love when that happens!
The nightmare scene (IYKYK)
Sneaky Mercurial

Read this series!
