"Hero. Foreigner. Queen. Elisa, at the age of seventeen, is all three. And all three draw enemies. Faced with assassins, court politics, and the threat of civil war, Elisa despairs of being the ruler her people need. Her only hope is the Godstone. She must master its power once and for all. She finds clues hidden in a long forgotten--and forbidden--scripture. Accompanied by a one-eyed warrior, an enemy defector, and the man she is falling in love with, Elisa takes a leap of faith and crosses an ocean in search of the ultimate source of the Godstone's power. But her faith has always had a price, and doing the right thing might mean giving up the power she desperately needs. And it might mean giving up the man she desperately loves. Rae Carson continues the epic story begun in The Girl of Fire and Thorns with a novel that is remarkable, adventurous, and even more romantic than the first"--
I was not expecting this for the second book but thank good this book happened. I surprisingly loved it more than the first book. First of all there was way more romance which made me happy and Elisa was less annoying in this one. The ending surprised me a little bit but I think it’s going to turn out nice in the next book. I could not put this book down! I got caught up in it and had to keep reading until I finished.
Hector is easily my favorite character and I was super glad that there was more of him in this book. I was a little nervous even starting this series because there’s a lot of religious stuff in it and I don’t really like reading about all that but this book proven me wrong. As much as I don’t like religion in books (not that there’s anything wrong with it) this book really needed it and I’m really happy with it.
