A Kingdom for a Stage by Heidi Heilig
5.0
4.75/5 stars
Phew. Where to start with this. I can't get over the brilliance of how the cover and title tie into the story, for starters, and I just have to get that out of the way. Amazing teamwork by everyone involved, truly!
Second books in a series, especially in a trilogy, can sometimes read like you're just muddling through to get to the end to move on to the third book. This book had an arc of its own. It contained some stunning surprises, many heart-pounding action scenes, as well as some slower, tense ones.
I don't really have words for it right now. This is an incredibly complex book, with so many different threads all woven together, and Heilig does an absolutely expert job of keeping everything afloat. Even though I read it over the course of almost two months, piecemeal a little bit every week, I was mostly able to keep up with what was going on. Every time I dove back in, I was caught up anew in the incredible world and story she built.
I dunno, guys. It's just a great book, part of a great series, and I can't wait for the finale.
