And the authors take things up a notch toward the end, definitely creating some anticipation for the next book. However, if I’d been a reader from the very beginning of the series, I might still be happy-sighing every time a well-earned lip-smack happens. I would have liked to see more tension or conflict between the couples to keep me guessing and hoping. This was more like, the couple has already fallen in love and it’s kind of just happily ever after on rinse and repeat. Don’t get me wrong – I’m all for a bit of smooching, especially when I’ve been rooting for the romance to finally blossom for the entire story. There was also quite a bit of kissing in this story. I was like, wait, what?! Is the enemy still out there? What’s going on? But… no one else really seemed too worried. The attack ends and everyone kind of dusts themselves off and moves on. The other is following an attack by an unknown enemy. One is after the girls are booted out of Doon, which is resolved in a snap once the boys arrive. While I found myself captured by the idyllic landscape of the story, I felt like it lost tension in a couple of places. Though I’m far from a theater buff, I picked up on several of them, and it felt like being in on a joke or something. I also really enjoyed the references to musicals and theater that were sprinkled throughout the story. I haven’t read either of the earlier books in this series, so I may have to do that in the hopes that some of these other characters get a little more stage time. I definitely wanted to know more about each of them. The circle of friends and advisers added interest, too. I liked the dynamics between them, where Kenna kept Vee from taking herself too seriously and Vee kept Kenna from losing faith in herself. Vee and Kenna are very different, but their friendship makes them each stronger. Together with the MacCrae boys, they’ll have to face an old enemy once again, one who’s determined to have the rule of Doon for herself.
As if facing the shock of their old, broken lives wasn’t enough, all signs indicate that this is just the beginning of a new threat. Just as Kenna begins to feel she’s found her niche, a dark force boots both girls from their beloved land and drops them back in the real world.
Her best friend Kenna still searches for her own place in the kingdom. Published: SeptemAmazon | Barnes & Noble | GoodreadsĪs Vee embraces her role as Doon’s Queen, she looks forward to the day she and Jamie will be able to rule together.
