A review by druv
The Mystic Marriage by Heather Rose Jones
5.0
Like the first book, this book follows a set of protagonists whose point of view we get to follow. This book expands the cast and from the eyes of others we get to see other sides and weaknesses of the characters of the first book. Antuniet, the main character, was ill-served by events in the first installment, and her struggles gives a welcome perspective on the social structure in Alpennia.
Much like the first book, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the characters are all very likeable despite their flaws and its a pleasure (though sometimes a heartwrenching pleasure) to follow their adventures. Also like the first book, I found the side characters somewhat underdeveloped. Through the point-of-view structure we go deep on several of the characters, but it feels like it would be helpful if more of the characters whose points of view we don't get would wear their hearts on their sleeves a bit more. The princesses you got a good insight to, but the others felt a bit soulless at times. Which is a pity, because there are some I'd really like to see more animated, such as Anna.
Looking forward to future sequels!
