The Hidden Palace was the last place that Lei would ever consider home. The trauma and tragedy she suffered behind those opulent walls would plague her forever. She could not be trapped there with the sadistic king again, especially without Wren. The last Lei saw of the girl she loved, Wren was fighting an army of soldiers in a furious battle to the death. With the two girls torn apart and each in terrorizing peril, will they find each other again, or have their destinies diverged forever?

To prove she is the Sun Queen, Rielle must endure seven elemental magic trials. If she fails, she will be executed...unless the trials kill her first.

When her warrior father, King Sendoa, mysteriously dies, Princess Amarande of Ardenia is given what would hardly be considered a choice: Marry a stranger at 16 or lose control of her family's crown. But Amarande was raised to be a warrior - not a sacrifice.

Tamsin is the most powerful witch of her generation. But after committing the worst magical sin, she’s exiled by the ruling Coven and cursed with the inability to love. The only way she can get those feelings back - even for just a little while - is to steal love from others. Wren is a source - a rare kind of person who is made of magic, despite being unable to use it herself. Sources are required to train with the Coven as soon as they discover their abilities, but Wren - the only caretaker to her ailing father - has spent her life hiding her secret.

Seventeen-year-old cynic Saoirse Clarke isn't looking for a relationship. But when she meets mischievous Ruby, that rule goes right out the window. Sort of. Because Ruby has a loophole in mind: a summer of all the best cliché movie montage dates, with a definite ending come fall - no broken hearts, no messy breakup. It would be the perfect plan, if they weren’t forgetting one thing about the Falling in Love Montage: when it's over, the characters have fallen in love...for real.

Too Much Detail
Well, the war did not get finished. I am expecting Lei to finish the war and it just fell flat at the end. The details were way to much, they spent too much time on the quest getting around. I liked how she explained her sanity at the end in her notes, but she could not speak to conquering her traumatic event and coping in the book.

The first book is phenomenal, however, I felt some of the moments in this book were cringey at best. However, the overall story is still good and allows us to get to know our main characters better. I’m looking forward to the release of the third book!

I loved the first one but this one did not catch my interest. I felt there wasn't really an end goal and I felt like the group should've had more of a plan than everything being accidental, it didnt seem like they were much of a team at all. the battles were pretty cool but kind of underwhelming.

Good story, not super well executed
It kills me to give such a low rating! I loved the first book, but this one fell flat and even a little annoying.
The bright spot was new side characters, but they were underused and their story lines were hardly explored. A shame since I was much more interested in them than the main character!

I'm not pleased by this ending
I feel so betrayed by this author. The first book in this series was very difficult to read but seemed like such an important one. That you can get away from your sexual assailants and fight to live after that. So, I was so excited to watch them fight and slowly succeed but then the ending betrayed all of that by putting her back into his hands again. I don't believe I will continue with this series bc I can't trust this author anymore...
