My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 CRANKY STARS


BOOK 2 in this saga gives us an epilogue that explains the prophecy of the chosen female that will return to reunite the Radiants and the humans. With her will come a new era of peace. In this world of the humans, there is a wall around the country protecting them from Joro, the home of the Radiants. The Kingdom is what the humans call their land. It is a mean and cruel place. Anyone who defies the king is placed in prison and is subjected to torture and or hanging. The Hangman is the King’s right-hand man and is cruel beyond measure. He is also, Kitty’s father. We learn how she became good friends with Nate and Thom.


Nate is in a prison camp and his whole goal in life is to rescue Kitty from her wicked husband Gabriel. He must not only escape the prison camp but travel hundreds of miles to rescue her. As he put his plans into place, he discovers Zoe and knows he must rescue her too. Once he gets to Kitty, they must find a way to get to Zoe and then cross the wall to the Outlands. Will they find the Radiants and survive? All their hopes lie in their faith in the knowledge that there must be something better on the other side. Besides, for Nate, he must be out there. If Thom is alive, as he truly believes, they promised to meet in the Outlands.


This series is well written but must be read in order. I don’t advise reading any of these books as a standalone. There is way too much information the reader needs in each book to understand the next book.
