Destiny's Star by Elizabeth Vaughan

4.0

 

4 stars - It was really good

This book picks up right where the previous one ended. Erzen and Bethral were taken through a portal filled with wild magic to the heart of the Plains where they find themselves being attacked by Warrior-Priests who want Erzen’s magic. 

I enjoyed this trip back to the Plains, especially since we finally get to learn what happened to cause magic to reappear. Ezren and Bethral have been attracted to each other since Bethral rescued Ezren from slavers but they both think the other isn’t into them. I loved watching them finally figure out they both want the other and starting a relationship together.

Bethral and Ezren’s adventure on the Plains was fascinating and kept me hooked. They are trying to evade the Warrior-Priests and along the way make new friends and create new stories. I was not expecting some of what happened to these two, especially with how the magic responded to Ezren’s feelings. It will be interesting to read the rest of the Chronicles of the Warlands series now and see how they deal with all the changes that has occurred. 

Trigger Warnings: Ezren was held as slave, tortured, and abused; PTSD; broken bones; death; kidnapping; death of horses;
