Peppered with excerpts from sacred texts and traditional songs, the novel has a formidable heroine at its core, who is as quick with a knife as she is to laugh or cry. Pearson is the author of seven novels for teens, including the popular Jenna Fox trilogy. 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. i felt much more present and engaged whilst reading this (compared to ‘kiss of deception'), but i still dont think this story/series is going to have a long-lasting effect on me. i will say this is still an 'in the moment' kind of story. After two handsome young men, Rafe and Kaden, arrive at the inn, Lia is taken with both, and they with her readers, unlike Lia, know that one is an assassin sent to kill her, the other, the prince she jilted. this is better than the first book and i couldnt be more grateful or relieved. On the day of her wedding, Lia flees with a trusted friend, Pauline, traveling until they reach a seaside town where Lia assumes a life as a barmaid at a local inn, reveling in her newfoundĪnonymity.
