Ceony has continued on with her studies after saving Emery. Things seem to be progressing well that is until a vengeful man from Emery’s past re-emerges and believes that Ceony has all the answers to the questions that he has been asking. Now faced with having to save innocent lives Ceony must make hard choices. Will Ceony and Emery be able to save the day?
I loved the second installment in this series! Ceony is incredible. Between her quick thinking, and determination she makes a strong FMC. I loved how she is determined to stay with Emery no matter what others are saying. The sense of loyalty and being sure of her future is wonderful to read.
The continued/developing relationship between Ceony and Emery is so wholesome and lovely. The way they are written and the way their story is unfolding is an absolute joy to read. The fact that it wasn't all 100% sunrise and roses this time is something that I really enjoyed. I felt that I was given a chance to see more of both of these characters that I adore.
The challenges that they had to face in this book were incredibly thought out. I loved reading through each battle scene. I wasn't sure that the first book's adventure was going to be able to be topped but this was a great way of building on and changing things up.
It was amazing to get the chance to learn more about a different type of magic. While Folding is really interesting and unique, I loved that this time we got to learn more about glass magic. I don't want to give too much away but the scenes with the glass magic in relation to mirrors was so cool to read and I loved the mental images the words brought to life.
With a medium pace and chapter lengths that varied this was a book that I really enjoyed reading. I am super excited and sad to read the third book. I want to know how it will end. I'm so glad I found Charlie N Holmberg books. I have really enjoyed all of them that I have read so far. If you enjoy alternate magic worlds and sweet romances this is definitely a series that you should check out!
