To save the life of the boy she loves, Jacinda did the unthinkable: She betrayed the most closely guarded secret of her kind. Now she must return to the protection of her pride knowing she might never see Will again—and worse, that because his mind has been shaded, Will’s memories of that fateful night and why she had to flee are gone.
Back home, Jacinda is greeted with hostility and must work to prove her loyalty for both her sake and her family’s. Among the few who will even talk to her are Cassian, the pride’s heir apparent who has always wanted her, and her sister, Tamra, who has been forever changed by a twist of fate. Jacinda knows that she should forget Will and move on—that if he managed to remember and keep his promise to find her, it would only endanger them both. Yet she clings to the hope that someday they will be together again. When the chance arrives to follow her heart, will she risk everything for love?
I flat out loved Firelight (review here), so I was more than a little eager to find out what would happen in this book. I'm pleased to say that I really wasn't disappointed. I mean, the second book in a series? Usually has a higher than normal odds of not being as good. However, we got a nice amount of conflict, and enough tension to carry to book through to the final chapter (and wow, what a final scene!). So, yeah, I enjoyed it! There were a few places where I really just wanted more though (I'm greedy, what can I say?)--especially the Big Event toward the end. I won't go into details to avoid being spoilerish, but if you've read this and want to chat about it in the comments, I'd love to hear what you though--you know what I'm talking about!
Anyhow, Jordan's writing is commendable, and the characters well drawn. I loved getting to see more into the draki world and seeing just what makes it run. Overall, seriously, if you're not sick of YA paranormal do check out this series!
So, have you read this? What did you think of this Big Event?
