From Rebecca Ross, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals, comes the captivating sequel to the Renaissance France–inspired epic fantasy The Queen’s Rising. Finally, Brienna is a mistress of knowledge. But now, she faces a new challenge: In her role as the daughter of lord Davin MacQuinn, she must win the approval of the other MacQuinns. Additionally, as Queen Isolde’s closest confidant, Brienna is responsible for balancing her role in her father’s House with serving her country. And then there’s Cartier.Aodhan Morgane, formerly Cartier Évariste, is slowly adjusting to his role as lord of a fallen House. After he and Brienna discover a mysterious boy who captures their hearts, he starts to wonder what it would be like if he didn’t have to raise the boy—or his House—by himself.

Any weakness will be exploited, and love is the greatest liability of all.

    Würdiger zweiter Band, der mich wieder vollkommen abgeholt und mitgerissen hat. Die Story war genau wie Band eins grandios geschrieben und habe mir den Charakteren mit gefiebert. Ich mag die Charaktere, ihre Entwicklung und auch die Verbindungen. Es wurde nicht langatmig und hatte nie das Gefühl es würde sich unnötig in die Länge ziehen. Und ich bin sehr froh über dass Ende.

    “Is it only blood that makes a House? Or is it beliefs? What holds people together more? The red in their veins or the fire in their hearts?" This book complements the first one so well. Everything came full circle. The first book introduced us to the world. It was a light hearted story about a girl becoming a passion before the story twists into a more complicated plot of restoring a queen to her rightful throne. The second book is about what must be achieved in order for the queen to secure her position. The bonds between the characters became much stronger and the story was much more emotional. We get to finally experience the Maevan courts and hear stories of how the lords and lady's have fared during the war and after. This book just feels more severe than the first. The characters are put in more demanding situations both emotionally and physically. In both books I loved the portrayal of the relationship between men and women in Maevana, the mutual respect and acceptance of the matriarchy.

    Eine sehr gelungene Fortsetzung! Eine Steigerung zum ersten Teil.

    Im ersten Teil hat sich die Handlung etwas gezogen. Das Gefühl hatte ich in diesem Teil gar nicht. Die zwei Perspektiven fand ich sehr gut ausgeschrieben. In dem Teil haben die Charaktere mehr Tiefe und Background bekommen. Es hat Spaß gemacht das Buch zu lesen und zwischendurch konnte ich es kaum aus der Hand legen. Ich hoffe, dass die Reihe noch einen Aufschwung bekommt, denn ich bin nur durch Zufall auf sie gestoßen.
