I absolutely love how this author writes.  She’s so descriptive and melodic.  You’re drawn right into the story at hand. I feel like I was right there with the characters.  The author’s breathtakingly beautiful descriptions leave you with an image of the scene at hand.  Edun mixes intrigue with action and suspense to create a very heady combo.  This novel is definitely more intense and action packed than the first in the series, yet loses none of the beauty that we found there.  The powerful storyline keeps you guessing and hopping throughout.  I found myself wrapped back up in this world before the end of the first chapter.  I definitely couldn’t put this down, nor could I stop thinking about it.The main character in this story is absolutely perfect for her role.  She keeps growing with her role, even if it isn’t always willingly.  I found my heart breaking for her while at the same time knowing that she’d make it thru.  She’s also backed up by an amazingly diverse yet well-developed supporting cast that both help and hinder her.  The well-rounded cast really helps to make this amazing story even better.  One of the best parts about this cast is the fact that many of them are coming of age and are still growing into their own.  You get to see them morph and change based on the situations that they face, and 9 times out of 10 they become better people because of it.This story was absolutely breathtaking.  It was a very intricate and multifaceted tale that definitely left me wanting more.  I can’t wait to get back with the 3rd instalment in the series.Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.
