The thrilling, New York Times–bestselling sequel to The Kiss of Deception

Held captive in the barbarian kingdom of Venda, Lia and Rafe have little chance of escape. Desperate to save her life, Lia's erstwhile assassin, Kaden, has told the Vendan Komizar that she has the gift, and the Komizar's interest in Lia is greater than anyone could have foreseen.

Meanwhile, nothing is straightforward: There’s Rafe, who lied to Lia but has sacrificed his freedom to protect her; Kaden, who meant to assassinate her but has now saved her life; and the Vendans, whom Lia always believed to be barbarians. Now that she lives among them, however, she realizes that may be far from the truth. Wrestling with her upbringing, her gift, and her sense of self, Lia must make powerful choices that will affect her country . . . and her own destiny.

The Heart of Betrayal by Mary E. Pearson drives up the stakes and the romance, and will leave readers desperate to read book three in the Remnant Chronicles, The Beauty of Darkness.

“It’s rare that the second book in a series is as good―or perhaps better―than the first, but that’s the case here.” ―Booklist, starred review, for The Heart of Betrayal

“A heart-pounding sequel that fantasy fans will appreciate.” ―School Library Journal for The Heart of Betrayal

“Fantastical.” ―USA Today for The Kiss of Deception

“A sumptuous fantasy.” ―Chicago Tribune for The Kiss of Deception

“In The Kiss of Deception, a new realm is masterfully created, featuring court intrigue, feuding nations, breathtaking landscapes, and the gift of sight. Fans of the Game of Thrones series will enjoy the magic and fantasy in this timeless dystopian world.” ―VOYA for The Kiss of Deception

"Pearson (the Jenna Fox Chronicles) is off to an extraordinary start with her fantasy series, the Remnant Chronicles, creating an alluring world and romance that's ideal for fans of Kristin Cashore and Megan Whalen Turner." ―Publishers Weekly for The Kiss of Deception

I actually enjoyed this book way more than the first one, but maybe that’s because I listened to the audiobook instead of reading it

5

There is not as much fantasy as I expected, but I still enjoyed it a lot

Hörbuch

4

3,5-4 Sterne Etwas schwächer als Band 1, aber immer noch interessant!

4

3,5 Solide! Aber leider nicht so gut wie Band 1. Hauptinhalt war: 1. Wir lernen den "Super Villain" kennen, der dann doch irgendwie ein bisschen nachvollziehbar handelt. 2. Lia entwickelt auf Menschen um sie herum eine Sogwirkung. 3. Love Triangle Zeugs. Hätte es dafür ein ganzes eigenes Buch gebraucht? Oder hätte man alles vielleicht im Rest der Geschichte "miterzählen" können? Ich hab nach dem Buch zu viele Fragen, die noch gänzlich ungeklärt sind. Allerdings habe ich große Hoffnungen, dass mir das Finale entsprechend wieder super gefallen wird.

4

Physically reading is currently quite hard. It's definitely not the books fault that it took me ages to finish it.

5

Holy cow what a fantastic book. I believe this second installment is even better then the first. I can't wait to read the first one. This is one of those books that even when you have to stop reading you are wondering what's going to happen. I can't wait to see where this story goes.

4

Ich konnte und kann mit der Romanze nichts anfangen. Es ist einfach absurd, dass ausgerechnet die Person, die kaum Screentime bekommt, die allergroße Liebe sein soll, und man einfach kaum Szenen mit beiden sieht. Das Love Triangle bekommt dann auch noch eine vierte Person dazu, die als Antagonist agiert, aber manchmal eben doch romantisiert wird. Hm hm hm. Abgesehen davon und dass ich Lia als Protagonistin, immer wenn sie ihre Prinzessinnen-Vergangenheit rausholt, immer noch für hilarious unrealistisch halte, hat mir der Fantasyanteil sehr gut gefallen und die Geschichte hat einfach Tempo. Deshalb diesmal ein Stern mehr als der erste Band, ich weiß nun schließlich, auf was ich mich einlasse und was ich einfach akzeptieren muss, um Lesespaß zu haben.

5

OH. MY. HOLY.SHIT. I have never EVER felt the urge to scream after having finished reading a book so desperately before. What has just happened? I am in love with this story. It tore at my stupid little heart. It wrecked me completely. Stories taking place in magical kingdoms, at courts where everyone can betray everyone, where fragile alliances can formed in one moment and broken in the next. I love visiting castles. The Sanctum was a highly intriguing and captivating place to read about. The Komizar was such a well-written character. There were side-characters I have grown to love. Here I just have to mention Aster and Calantha. Jeb, too. Going on this journey with Lia, I got to know her even better, in a different way from what we learned about her when she was in Terravin. She is so strong, witty and I loved accompanying throughout these 400 and somewhat pages. Rafe and Kaden stole my heart, too. Both in a different way and at a different level, but still. This novel has me feel so many things, and I just love love love when that happens reading a book. I do not know what to do with myself now. More specifically how to pass the time until I can continue with this freakingly awesome story. oh shit

OMG this book was just soo freaking good!!! I just couldn't stop reading ... I just need the third one NOW!!!
