In the sequel to the acclaimed The Girl of Fire and Thorns, a seventeen-year-old princess turned war queen faces sorcery, adventure, untold power, and romance as she fulfills her epic destiny.
Elisa is the hero of her country. She led her people to victory against a terrifying enemy, and now she is their queen. But she is only seventeen years old. Her rivals may have simply retreated, choosing stealth over battle. And no one within her court trusts her-except Hector, the commander of the royal guard, and her companions. As the country begins to crumble beneath her and her enemies emerge from the shadows, Elisa will take another journey. With a one-eyed warrior, a loyal friend, an enemy defector, and the man she is falling in love with, Elisa crosses the ocean in search of the perilous, uncharted, and mythical source of the Godstone's power. That is not all she finds. A breathtaking, romantic, and dangerous second volume in the Fire and Thorns trilogy.
I LOVED The Girl of Fire and Thorns! I am so excited to see what Rae Carson has in store for these characters.
Our journey began in fire... Gideon Cross came into my life like lightning in the darkness-beautiful and brilliant, jagged and white-hot. I was drawn to him as I'd never been to anything or anyone in my life. I craved his touch like a drug, even knowing it would weaken me. I was flawed and damaged, and he opened those cracks in me so easily... Gideon knew. He had demons of his own. And we would become the mirrors that reflected each other's most private wounds... and desires. The bonds of his love transformed me, even as I prayed that the torment of our pasts didn't tear us apart...
A friend recommended this to me. I don’t know that I am going to like it but I’m going to give it a shot.

Bared to You is supposed to be really good, I've heard great things about it! I'm not sure it'd be my cup of tea but I hope it'll be a pleasant surprise :) Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI want to read Bared to You BAD. I really like the synopsis for The Crown of Embers. I haven't read the first book but I think I'm going to invest in a copy. Happy reading :)

See my big pet peeve with books is when the author compares their book to another authors work. Once I read that this was the next 50 Shades of Grey... I decided it wasn't for me. I hope you like Bared To You though.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new books,
