Author: Tamara Rose Blodgett
Source: ebook from author for review
If you have not read book one, The Pearl Savage, then please do not read my review...it could contain spoilers.
goodreads...
Matthew and Bracus of the Band travel
alongside eighteen-year old queen, Clara Williamson, as she journeys to the sea
to unlock the puzzle of her lineage.
Trouble strikes when the fragment absorbs
Prince Frederic and undertake plans that involve Clara and her home sphere in a
dangerous scheme of coercion.
It isn't long before Clara discovers the
Guardians terrible secret through horrible circumstances she must escape from.
Can Clara protect herself from her own
destiny?
My take...
I would like to note that this book to me is more New Adult than YA. So keep that in mind when you decide to read it.
Ok I am going to do this review a little
different than my others. I am going to tell you what I liked and what I didn’t
like. First lets start with what I didn’t like.
This book had me shaking my head one too
many times. Shaking my head when Clara or one of her female friends got
kidnapped yet again. Shaking my head when Clara or one of female friends were
almost raped yet again. Shaking my head when another guy came long and fell in
love with Clara yet again. It was as if this book's storyline was on a
continuous repeat. And I was seriously about to scream knowing one of these
things were about to happen.
One question I have is what does Clara have
that attracts guys like a dog in heat? And I tried to think of a better way to
ask this next question but there is just no way around it. Is Clara’s cooter
made of gold and only the male species can detect it? I mean I am all for a
love triangle. But when 3rd and 4th guy gets introduced as another possible
love interest I was ready to throw up. Clara better man up in the next book and
make an executive decision about who she wants to be with or I might be done
with her altogether. Am I really the only one that see’s Matthew’s love for her
is true?
With everything that happens from the beginning
until the end...I was catching myself yelling at my nook way too much. But I
couldn't stop reading either. I had to know what would happen next. So this
leads us to what I liked about the story.
I loved the whole idea of Clara heading off
in to the unknown seeking out her real mother and looking for answers. And
answers we get in this second book of the series. Lots and I mean lots get
revealed and some kind of blew my mind. All from the revealing of Clara’s
mother….to how the fragment came to be…to who Clara really is. We get a plethora
of info revealed in stages throughout the book.
Blodgett’s writing is also a favorite of
mine since The Pearl Savage. Even when giving her characters a 1890 dialogue, I
found myself following easily. And I am not one that likes historical fiction
for that reason only. But with these characters I really enjoyed it.
So with that I end my review and hope that
you will give it a try. It is really different story than what you have read
before and the fact it has romance thrown around throughout the book is an
added plus. When reading the story I want to know who you think Clara should
choose. My choice is Matthew and I look forward to more of Clara’s story to see
who is her pick.
