Synopsis (Found on Goodreads):

After battling the impossible, Zélie and Amari have finally succeeded in bringing

magic back to the land of Orïsha. But the ritual was more powerful than they could’ve

imagined, reigniting the powers of not only the maji, but of nobles with magic ancestry,

too.

Now, Zélie struggles to unite the maji in an Orïsha where the enemy is just as

powerful as they are. But when the monarchy and military unite to keep control of

Orïsha, Zélie must fight to secure Amari's right to the throne and protect the

new maji from the monarchy's wrath.

Thoughts:

I'm beyond grateful that I listened to last three hours alone in my car. I was crying

and so emotionally invested. It had been a bit between book one and this that it took

a little bit to remember everyone and what was happening. Hopefully book three will

be here without a two year wait.

A kingdom divided not in half but in thirds. Can Zelie set aside her differences and

find a way to create a peaceful Orisha? Will Amari start learning to take responsibility

for the choices she has made? This book answers a lot of those questions but I'm

sure after the cliffhanger book three will be amazing.

TTFN,
