Such a Secret Place by Cortney Pearson
3.0
I would give this one a solid 3.5, good enough to continue the series.
It was pretty enjoyable. Fast-paced, plenty of mysteries to keep the pages turning, and Ambry was enjoyable to read. I liked the whole concept with the magical tears, and it was fun seeing a jar of tears with a personality and goal of its own.
It was nice that all the characters had their own goals that ended up conflicting more often than not. The whole system of magic was interesting and I wanted to know more about it, and I really enjoyed the world and the settings.
The villain wasn't anything special, and Talon...I'm kinda back and forth with his character. I couldn't decide whether or not I liked him, but I did like the conflict where he wouldn't tell Ambry anything, and it was really rewarding to see her finally take matters into her own hands near the end of the book. I wanted her to do that so much sooner.
Anyway, it was good. I don't often rate books with 4 stars, but this came pretty close. Can't wait to see what else Cortney Pearson has in store!
