Kennedy did not disappoint in the second book of The Forgotten Series!
What we know, and love, about Dannie and Ashlin is enhanced by what we learn about Rosa and Marco. The bonds that they have, and everything they are willing to do for one another comes through loud and clear. (Especially when Ashlin stands up to her mom in defence of Dannie, and perhaps herself). The importance of friends and family, even if it is found family, is the underlying theme in my opinion. Despite the terror they are going through, they stick together and try to make it through. The impact of these relationships is truly powerful, whether it is positive or negative. Prince Eric demonstrates that difference so well. The pace was great, the characters well-defined, the twists and turns were in all the right places, and it was tied up nicely (I think. Is there more?). I would like to know more about the relationship/story between Karl, Marco and Eric.
Bring on book 3!
