A Kingdom for a Stage by Heidi Heilig

5.0

As I read this book for the second time, I realised a few things:

1) How much I love Heidi Heilig's books.

2) How Through this entire story I seemed to have been relating this to her other books, which I love beyond words, and the characters in this story seemed to, in my head transfer from one series to the next. I cannot understand why yet.

And 3) As I was reading, not missing a word, I noticed things that the first time I had read it I did not notice. Sometimes they were little things, other times they were things I had interpreted wrong (the ending, I completely missed the meaning of that, which is not normal for me.)

This book explored things that we see in our world but may not completely understand, in a way that at first we do not notice it is happening. It explores bipolar disorder with Jetta, race and experience being mix raced, power (leadership and other), and lastly, maybe not most importantly, love in a time of war and needing that someone to lean on that may not always be there.

Overall, I enjoyed this book even more the second time, and I cannot wait for the next one.
