When the author gifted me this book, I have to say I was soooo excited! I read The Chosen Soul and loved it, and could not wait for a sequel. Drake of Tanith definitely exceeded my expectations.Summary: Cruor is dead. Drake is in the Witherlands. And now Raven Grey is stuck in the elves' palace. Desperate to escape, Raven makes a promise with the elf princess and leaves, searching for Drake. But things are not so easy. Drake struggles to hold on to Raven while fighting off a man he loathes. And now someone is hunting the Dark Royalty. Is anyone safe? Can Drake hold on to his life and Raven's?What I Liked: Drake of Tanith has a beautiful flow to the story. The prose is meticulous, making the plot swift and entertaining. The characters are three-dimensional and all very likable. I was not a huge fan of Drake in The Chosen Soul, but now it's all Drake. I like the change in pace of the story, and the addition of several other plotlines to follow. This book had a way of capturing my attention and keeping me interested throughout every part.What I Did Not Like: I honestly cannot find something that I did not like with this book. It was near-flawless. I suppose the thing I do not like about this book is that I have to wait for the next one.Would I Recommend It: Most definitely. I loved this book a million times more than I liked The Chosen Soul, and I loved The Chosen Soul. This book was so thorough and had me reading down to the last page. You will not want to put it down until the last word. I'm a teen, and I would say that this book is for upper teens and adults.Rating: 5 stars. This was a great book. I can't wait for the next one.Another captivating read by Ms. Killough-Walden! :)
