The Broken Tower

By: Kelly Braffet

Narrated by: Tia Rider

"An exciting fantasy adventure tale.” –Booklist, STARRED Review

Deeply immersive, this penetrating tale of magic, faith and self-determination is the brilliant sequel to Kelly Braffet’s The Unwilling

Judah the Foundling chose freedom over betrayal when she leaped from the top of the castle tower. Now she finds herself wandering an unknown forest, far from everything and everyone she loves. For the first time in her life, she’s beyond the great Wall that surrounds Highfall castle; for the first time, she’s alone. Away from the Seneschal, the power behind the throne; away from Nate Clare, the House Magus who was her teacher, friend, betrayer. Away from her foster brother, Gavin, with whom she has a mysterious bond that has kept them together—and kept her alive.

But Judah isn’t free. Fiercely sought by those who believe she holds the key to unlocking the power trapped in the world, she must learn to navigate the dangers of an unfamiliar place. She knows that somewhere, Gavin is in peril. To save him, she not only must learn to use the new power she discovers inside herself, she must survive.

Super Depressing, but in the best way

This series is so oppressive to the soul, but it's also about overcoming that. Braffet once again represents what any of us might do in in dire circumstances with her range of characters. raw and dark, but relatable

Incredible levels of violence!

Did the author just get tired of this story and decide to bail out? Not even one of the story lines came to any conclusion. She left everything up in the air, with no sequel, and I feel cheated!

okay not great

To PC annoyed me whatever I might finish it. Don't care for the homosexuality.
