Publisher's summary

The much-anticipated sequel to the book Danielle Page, author of Dorothy Must Die, says is "inventive, gorgeous, and epic - Grey dazzles".

Everything in Echo's life changed in a blinding flash when she learned the startling truth: She is the firebird, the creature of light that is said to bring peace.

The firebird has come into the world, but it has not come alone. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and Echo can feel a great and terrible darkness rising in the distance. Cosmic forces threaten to tear the world apart.

Echo has already lost her home, her family, and her boyfriend. Now, as the firebird, her path is filled with even greater dangers than the ones she's already overcome.

She knows the Dragon Prince will not fall without a fight.

Echo must decide: Can she wield the power of her true nature - or will it prove too strong for her and burn what's left of her world to the ground?

Welcome to the shadow hour.

Hoped for more

The first book had a slow build and I was hoping this book in the trilogy would bring them out more which in ways it did, but it still felt surface deep. In some ways I fell like there may have been too many characters to give me what I wanted for each. It had such potential. The concept promised so much but fell flat. There would be a major scene and after I would feel like “that was it?”. Disappointed but I am going to listen to the third and hope that it will come full circle.

5 STARS PLUS

I live this series. I'm and old fart and it is written so well and narrated that it can easily entertain even the toughest critics!!! I'll have to now waste time with other books until I can get my hands on book 3.
Great hook at the end of this book too.
Ok I'm out!!!
