Description

In Erin Beaty's The Traitor's Ruin, war breaks out between nations and Sage Fowler must infiltrate enemy territory to reconnect with her first love, Captain Alex Quinn.

A captain with a secret.
A spy with a mission.
A kingdom on the verge of ruin.

After proving her worth as a deft spy and strategic matchmaker, Sage Fowler is now comfortably positioned in high society as the royal tutor. When she learns of a secret mission, she jumps at the chance to serve her kingdom once more―and to be reunited with her fiancé, Captain Alex Quinn.

However, Sage’s headstrong insistence clashes with Alex’s gruff military exterior. And after a skirmish with a bordering kingdom, they're separated when tragedy strikes. Now in enemy territory, Sage desperately scrambles to complete Alex’s reconnaissance mission. Can she save her kingdom once more?

Bin echt froh, dass ich die Reihe endlich weitergelesen habe. Freue mich auf Band 3!

“I'm not sorry for what I did, but I'm sorry it was necessary.” +++ENGLISH+++ I loved book 1, but I "just" liked book 2. Until 40%, I was kinda bored? Now I am happy I pushed through, but it was exhausting. I especially liked Nicholas (not just because I love Nikolai from the Grisha verse... but the name helped with sympathy!) This book includes a lot of scheming and politics, and less of those romantic scenes I was craving? But it was still interesting trying to guess who was the bad one, and what was the truth. The ending definitely broke my heart... Thank god there wasn't a real cliffhanger, because that would have destroyed me completely! +++GERMAN+++ Band 1 war ein absolut fesselndes Monatshighlight für mich. Bei Band 2 hatte ich ein paar... Startschwierigkeiten, aber das Durchbeißen hat sich gelohnt. Der Anfang ist ein wenig zäh, und es passiert bis ca. 40% des Buches kaum etwas. Aber dann nimmt die Geschichte an Fahrt auf und entführt uns in ein wunderschönes Reich. Die vielen Intrigen haben definitiv für Spannung gesorgt, und ich habe fleißig mitgerätselt (allerdings weniger erfolgreich als in Band 1). Wir lernen viele neue Charaktere kennen und ich finde Nicholas einfach toll (eventuell liegt das auch daran, dass ich Nikolai aus Leigh Bardugo's Grisha Serie so toll fand...). Die romantischen Szenen sind in diesem Buch etwas rar gesät, es ist eher dramatisch-emotional. Besonders das Ende ist eine Tortur für mein armes Herz gewesen. Es gibt keinen direkten Cliffhanger, aber trotzdem bin ich gespannt auf den dritten Band! Insgesamt bekommt Liebe und Lügen 4 Sterne von mir, da ich am Anfang etwas gelangweilt habe. Das Weiterlesen hat sich aber gelohnt, und als erst einmal Spannung da war, ist sie kaum noch abgeklungen!
