Kingsbane by Claire Legrand
5.0
4.75 STARS
I have to say, I am very impressed with Claire Legrand. It is rare for the second book in a trilogy to be better than the first, and this book accomplished this feat.
The only reason I could not give this book a true 5 star rating was because I had some minor issues with the characters that just annoyed me. I felt that many of the romantic scenes were used for audience appeal rather than character growth and/or plot development. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy romance, but things got really redundant after awhile.
However, the writing was excellent, the world was rich and captivating, the characters gained more depth, and the plot was EXCITING! The ending is making me itch for the final installment. The revelations had my jaw drop MULTIPLE times and left me with so many questions. I NEED to know what happens next!
