Here is a link to my review of the first in the series Firethorn
Summary:
This book tells the story of Firethorn after she is told to stay behind by Sire Galan, who has given her land which she can stay on. Firethorn does not listen and follows Galan. On the crossing she is struck by lightening. This makes much of the beginning of the story hard to follow. It seems like she is stumbling over what she wants to say and even her thoughts at times, but as the book progresses this fades. Not much more can be said in summary without giving away to much of the story.
Feelings:
I thought that this was a better story than Firethorn, the first in the series. Part of this may have been that I was more satisfied with the ending. Firethorn is tried and tested in many ways which I did not expect at the beginning of the story. It is hard not to appreciate her and what she goes through. This story moves and the plot is not as lingering. There are still the same descriptions which highlighted the first book. The movement between places makes this book move at a faster pace. The King of Icus Corvus becomes a person who isn't only the enemy, as he was viewed in Firethorn. I really enjoyed reading this book as I did the first one and hope that the next in the series arrives soon.
