Book: Rebel Spring Series: Falling Kingdoms (Book 2) Author: Morgan Rhodes Pages: 412 Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) Favorite Quote: “Sometimes to regain sanity, one had to acknowledge and embrace the madness.” Recommendation: If you like high fantasy, complex characters, lots of shit going down!

Synopsis:

The road to power... is paved with blood and magic. Cleo is now a prisoner in her own palace, forced to be an ambassador for Mytica as the evil King Gaius lies to her people. Magnus stands to eventually inherit the new kingdom but is still obsessed with his feelings for his adopted sister, Lucia. Lucia is haunted by the outcome of the breathtaking display of magic that allowed her father to capture the kingdoms. Jonas watched at the palace gates a troop of rebels behind him, waiting for him to tell them how he plans to overtake King Gaius. After a bloody siege, Auranos has been defeated, its young queen orphaned and dethroned. The three kingdoms—Auranos, Limeros, and Paelsia—are now unwillingly united as one country called Mytica. But the allure of ancient, dangerous magic beckons still, and with it the chance to rule not just Mytica, but the whole world over... At the heart of the fray are four brave young people grappling for that magic and the power it promises. For Cleo, the magic would enable her to reclaim her royal seat. In Jonas's hands, it frees his nation, and in Lucia's, it fulfills the ancient prophecy of her destiny. And if the magic were Magnus's, he would finally prove his worth in the eyes of his cruel and scheming father, King Gaius, who rules Mytica with a punishing hand. When Gaius begins to build a road into the Forbidden Mountains to physically link all of Mytica, he sparks a long-smoking fire in the hearts of the people that will forever change the face of this land. For Gaius's road is paved with blood, and its construction will have cosmic consequences.

My Opinion:

So many shocking things happened. SO MANY!

I still love all the characters and like Cleo a bit more!

We met a new prince that I’m intrigued by and liking a lot!

This one felt like a bit of a filler

I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Gathering Darkness by Morgan Rhodes and Michelle Rowen {Book Review}

———————————————————————————————————–

GENRES:- Fantasy, Young Adult, Magic, Romance, High Fantasy, Adventure, Fiction, Witches

RATING:- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

———————————————————————————————————–

the stakes have never been higher as three teams push forward on a race to find the Kindred, the four elemental crystals possessing ancient all-powerful magic, first:

Prince Magnus has just witnessed torture, death, and miracles during the bloody confrontation that decimated the rebel forces. Now he must choose between family and justice as his father, the cruel King Gaius, sets out to conquer all of Mytica. All Gaius needs now are the Kindred - the four elemental crystals that give godlike powers to their owner. But the King of Blood is not the only one hunting for this ancient, storied magic...

• THE KRAESHIANS join the hunt. Ashur and Amara, the royal siblings from the wealthy kingdom across the Silver Sea, charm and manipulate their way to the Kindred, proving to be more ruthless than perhaps even the King of Blood himself.

• THE REBELS forge ahead. Princess Cleo and vengeful Jonas lead them, slaying with sweetness, skill, and a secret that can control Lucia's overpowering magic - all so they can use the Kindred to win back their fallen kingdoms.

• THE WATCHERS follow Melenia out of the Sanctuary. They ally in the flesh with King Gaius, who vows to use Lucia's powers to unveil the Kindred.

The only certainty in the dark times is that whoever finds the magic first will control the fate of Mytica... but fate can be fickle when magic is involved.

this was insane!! really!! these books as I've read in some reviews get better and better with each book!!

I loved this book so much!! I'm going to summarize my feelings (or reaction really) about this book in simple points:-

- who in the hell is the villain in this book because I can't find a solid direction to channel all my hatred and anger to! there seem to be many minions in this book but I can't find the main villain in this series!! or really a villain that stick and stay alive enough to be considered the main villain!!🙄🙄

- where this series is going I have no freaking idea which is so frustrating and amazing at the same time (don't ask me how)

+ the characters!!

- JONAS where was this guy and his gang most of the book! they had so few scenes in this book (although some of them where game-changing but they were still few) and seriously Jonas make up your mind already!! (this guy still need some character growth in my opinion)

- Lucia is seriously giving me severe headaches throughout the book!! most of the time I want to get in the book to shook or to strangle her! there is just A FEW, really FEW moments when I felt bad for her but just for a moment! Lucia is driving me nuts!!

- MAGNUS!! MY PRECIOUS BOY!! I really was intrigued by him in the first book and I'm so happy that I liked him from the beginning!! he went through such a tremendous character growth it's so heartwarming I can't wait to see what will happen to him in the future books

- Cleo!! is the character I want to win at the end!! I love her!! if anything bad happens to her or Magnus I'll seriously be pissed off)!! I need my babies to have HEA!!

and this is the end of the review! I'm off to read the next book!! can't wait to see what's going to happen next!
