Publisher's summary

They say ignorance is bliss.

Charlie used to believe that was a lie, but now she’s not so sure.

As the truth comes to light, everything Charlie thought she knew, everything she thought she wanted is called into question.

Though she manages a daring escape from her captors, the black mark of the Aramach is spreading like wildfire, threatening the fragile peace between Luan and H’Ria. Through it all, Charlie tries to overcome the scars she’s brought back with her to be the leader her people need.

Will she and Oliver be able to unite the kingdoms before it’s too late? Or will she lose what matters most?

Getting good!

Ohhh it's gotten so good!! Book three is going to be so good. Holly cliffhanger! I don't have words t describe how much I now need book 3.

great book

In this book Charlie's rose colored glasses are ripped off and she has to face some hard truths! Spring Rising is definitely about character growth and is the beginning of us seeing the whole picture. Olivia did a great job as Charlie and even her voice as Oliver and Logan were fun! Elle and Madison have done a great job with these characters. If you like book 1 then you'll like book 2😁

Great Sequel

I received an audio version of this book for review; all opinions are my own.

I enjoyed this sequel more than that the first. The action flows better and keeps the story exciting. But the author also spends time on the characters developing them past one dimension. The romance is also better balanced in this one which I appreciated. I also enjoyed the narrator and the variety of voices for the characters.

Spring's rising

This book had me on the edge of my set but the end. Wow Charlie is so strong. After what she goes through. And she is still going to do whatever she need for her people. I dont want to give anything away. But I am happy to know that I was right about some things about to people. I will say that I can't wait to see what happens next. Okay its more like I need to know.

Excellent book

Spring’s Rising is such a great sequel to this series, I love the characters, especially Charlie. Charlie grew so much in this book. Several times I didn’t see things coming, there is a lot of action that keeps you involved. I loved this book, I can’t wait to see what happens next!

5* MUST LISTEN

One of my all-time favorite series. Narration truly brings the characters to life.

Packed with humor, wit, banter, friendship, love. Great character development and growth. Intricate world building.

Charlie Rising

Our key female protagonist does some maturing in this second book, which is good. We're still faced with betrayals from all sides, and this book doesn't resolve many of sub plots. So, on to book3 for more answers and action.

Fantastic Sequel!!

This book picks up right after Charlie’s kidnapped at the end of book one. Its quick-paced, intense beginning sucks the reader right back into the story. There were so many emotions going on in this part, but let’s be honest, throughout the whole book.

I loved seeing Charlie’s real response to all she’d gone through, even though it was heartbreaking. It made her that much more relatable. She’s depressed and struggling, but she pushes past that like the fierce ruler she’s growing to be. She’s no longer the naïve princess she was at the start, and watching her make bold choices both for her friends and kingdom was fantastic.

This series is so well written and easy to get lost in. I actually listened to the audiobook this time around, and the narrator did such an incredible job bringing the story and characters to life!

Full review for book three, Summer’s Rebellion, is coming super soon because I finished both within 24 hours. I couldn’t stop. The only reason I didn’t continue with the fourth book was because it was four in the morning and I had to get up somewhat early. However, by the time this review goes up, I probably will have it read too.

Highly recommend this series!

Stunning

Olivia King narrating this series is pure magic. She brings Charlie to life in ways that I didn't know possible. Also this book is very intriguing and intense with you wondering if Charlie can stop the black mark Aramach which is spreading like crazy threatening the peace between Luan and H’Ria. Also you wonder how she and Oliver with bring the countries together as you want her with Logan hehe.

Amazing!

If the first book was a surprise, this one blew my expectations. It was slower than the first book in the series but at the same time it felt like it went faster. The characters are still amazing. Charly has really matured and has new problems to deal with.

There were funny and sweet moments, but also some really hard ones... I just didn't want this audiobook to finish...

Once again, Olivia King is amazing.

I received a free audio copy from the authors for a honest review.
