You must have this book on your shelves. I can't wait to see what happens next! - Richelle Mead, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Vampire Academy and The Glittering CourtĪn otherworldly epic.evocative and intricate.- Publishers Weekly This is one of those series you can't help but be obsessed with. This series is a very fun ride, and I recommend it for any fan of character-driven fantasy.Morgan Rhodes has created a rich, living fantasy world and characters that immediately draw the reader in. We have reached the middle of the series, and the climax of this book has me very excited for the rest of the series. But, ultimately, I overlooked that because of how well our main characters are developed. My only complaint about this book was that the Kraeshians seemed very flat and two-dimensional as characters.

They have all come so far since book one, and are not the same people we’ve seen in previous books. I thoroughly enjoy the character development in this series, and the characters did not disappoint in this installment. It built on the foundation of the previous books, and is the best book of the series so far. 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. They ally in the flesh with King Gaius, who vows to use Lucia’s powers to unveil the Kindred. THE WATCHERS follow Melenia out of the Sanctuary.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. 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. But the King of Blood is not the only one hunting for this ancient, storied magic… All Gaius needs now are the Kindred – the four elemental crystals that give godlike powers to their owner. Now he must choose between family and justice as his father, the cruel King Gaius, sets out to conquer all of Mytica. Prince Magnus has just witnessed torture, death, and miracles during the bloody confrontation that decimated the rebel forces.
