One of the things I’ve seen discussed a lot with this book is the very feminist rule of Karis Luran and her people. The new characters took a little getting used to– I wasn’t sure if they were going to trample my old loyalties or make me fall in love with them.

I loved the return of characters from A CURSE SO DARK AND LONELY. I loved falling back into the story world. That’s certainly not what Grey wants, anyhow. But at the end of the day, I didn’t find this book to be one that forces you to choose between them. No spoilers, though, so I won’t say more than this: I definitely felt my Team Rhen spirit challenged at times. Mostly, I worried that Rhen would end up being painted as this unlikeable character, and I just really like him, okay?! I didn’t want to lose my ability to like him. I’d read some other reviews of the book early on that made me a little worried about reading A HEART SO FIERCE AND BROKEN. I’m still pretty over the moon to have had a chance to read this book before its release date. The heart-pounding, compulsively readable saga continues as loyalties are tested and new love blooms in a kingdom on the brink of war. Her own daughter Lia Mara sees the flaws in her mother’s violent plan, but can she convince Grey to stand against Rhen, even for the good of Emberfall? He has no desire to challenge Rhen–until Karis Luran once again threatens to take Emberfall by force. Rumored to be the heir, Grey has been on the run since he destroyed Lilith. Although Rhen has Harper by his side, his guardsman Grey is missing, leaving more questions than answers. Rumors circulate that he is not the true heir and that forbidden magic has been unleashed in Emberfall. The curse is finally broken, but Prince Rhen of Emberfall faces darker troubles still.
