The Heartwood Crown by Matt Mikalatos

5.0

It's really hard, IMO, for a second book in a series to hit the same "WOW factor" that the first book did. I mean, you got that shocking wow from not knowing it was coming, right? So now you kinda expect it. And yet, The Heartwood Crown gave me that dramatic WOW all over again. This book is so good, you've just got to read it--the whole series! Unabashed 5 stars from a 5-star tightwad.
