Thank you Harlequin Books for this book in exchange for an honest review

Synopsis:

Ever since Nor was forced to go to a nearby kingdom in her sister’s place, she’s wanted nothing more than to return to the place and people she loves. But when her wish comes true, she soon finds herself cast out from both worlds, with a war on the horizon.

As an old enemy resurfaces more powerful than ever, Nor will have to keep the kingdom from falling apart with the help of Prince Talin and Nor’s twin sister, Zadie. There are forces within the world more mysterious than any of them ever guessed—and they’ll need to stay alive long enough to conquer them

Review:

While 2020 has been a shit year, at least the sequels to our favourite books are getting released!

Crown of Coral and Pearl was a phenomenal book and the sequel was just as good!!

It was great to dive back into the kingdom by the sea but we also get introduced to new places by Rutherford with the same creative descriptions as the first book that leaves you with a vivid image of the world in your mind.

Nor and Zaida are gorgeous and it is so great to be back and experience their sisterly bond but more complex than in the Crown of Coral and Pearl but still enjoyable to read. You get a more in-depth view of the characters as their personalities expand and they evolve throughout the story.

I honestly loved this story, I loved every page. The characters are delightful and wonderful. The world is just intense and descriptive and the writing is bloody fantastic!!!
