The breathtaking sequel to Sarah Henning's The Princess Will Save You--a brilliantly-executed YA fantasy homage to The Princess Bride
KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE CROWN…
After a thousand years of political stability, the realm of The Sand and Sky is up for grabs. Four kingdoms, four rulers vying for the ultimate prize, sovereignty over the entire continent: A ruthless old king spinning webs, whose schemes encompass generations. A widowed queen whose only credo is all kings must die. A runaway queen whose unexpected return upends everyone’s plans. And a prince-in-waiting determined to wait no more.
Standing against them are a dispossessed princess and her stable boy love with a surprising claim of his own. Their only hope in the face of unspeakable betrayals, enemies hidden in the shadows, and insurmountable odds is the power of true love...
The Kingdoms of Sand & Sky Trilogy
Book 1: The Princess Will Save You
Book 2: The Queen Will Betray You
Book 3: The King Will Kill You
This story picks up where the first part ended. I have to confess that although I liked Amarande a lot in the first book, in this one I would have liked her to be a little harder on those who betrayed and hurt her. She continues to be faithful, loyal and protective of those she loves, especially Luca who in this second part has a more important role.
I love that this books aren’t the typical princess who will stay in her palace waiting for things to happen, here, Amarande fights for those she loves and the rights to reign on lands of men. She’s strong and never give up on the majority of the time, and other ones I was expecting different from her.
In this book we will find more political plot and a lot of matriarchy. The female interaction in this book is much more and with strategies and struggle to reign, sometimes at the cost of anything.
I liked the ending, is not what i particularly would chose and it didn't surprise me because before finishing this book I found out that there will be a third one that I imagine will close this story.
I’m already looking forward to read it and see if the author gives the end they deserve to some characters that in this book have gotten off very easy.
However, this book is a very easy read and if you read and liked The Princess will save you , y’all definitely need to read this one.
Thank you so much to the Author, Macmillan-Tor Teen and NetGalley for the ARC. I'm freely giving my honest opinion on this review.
Until the next one :)
