The Wilderise Tales #2
The Bright and the Blue
Rinka is done with the city. She’s done with the job she’s always hated, she’s done with the never-ending rent increases, and most of all, she’s done with her big dreams. Isn’t it time for her to listen to her mother and settle for less?
But when she packs up her life to join her friend Alison in the country, she’s not the only one new in town. The king is coming, and he’s bringing the entire court and a retinue of dwarven industrialists bent on turning Rinka and Alison’s new home into the next great center of commerce.
The only problem? Their town will be at the bottom of a lake.
To save the town from its watery fate, they’ll have to find a way to change the hearts and minds of the nobles who would see it in ruins. As Rinka infiltrates their ranks, she finds herself caught up in the glamorous world she’s always dreamed of. And things only get more complicated when she falls for one of their members.
With Alison's newfound magical abilities and an unlikely band of allies at their side, Rinka and Alison must find a way to preserve the land they love while navigating their most dangerous challenge a summer at court.
Return to the kingdom of Wilderise in The Bright and the Blue, the second novel in the Wilderise Tales, coming this summer.

2.5⭐️ i had high expectations for this, as book one was my first 5 star of this year. while the first book was full, fleshed out, and could stand alone, this felt like more of a transitional novel to get ready for the next book.
our previous main character’s old roommate from the city, rinka, is finally making the move to come and live with alison in wilderise. during her travels, rinka meets a man she’s immediately drawn to, who seems to be hiding who he really is. after their ship is attacked by pirates, they’re forced to stick together in order to make it to their destination. after her reunion with alison, rinka is thrown undercover into the glamour of politics and nobility as she, alison, and the townspeople plan to save the fate of wilderise.
ambitious, but ended up having too much going on at once and lacked depth overall. book one brought us into a magical, whimsical world with characters that are all going through grief in different ways. book two was just… a lot of random plot, with very little to show for it at the end. i was excited about it being a dual POV between alison and rinka, but i think it was more of a hinderance with capturing the scope of their stories. there is a HUGE reveal smack dab in the middle of the book that should have been so much more central to the storyline, but it is never expanded on or mentioned again.
i wasn’t interested in the royals. i liked how the first book was centered around the townspeople and their way of life, this went very heavy on the new characters which i just couldn’t bring myself to care about (aside from rinka, although i wasn’t expecting the direction her character took). it seemed like it attempted a bridgerton moment that was just… an odd fit in the overall story. the romance was way too lust-heavy (no spice) to be believable or taken seriously, there also just wasn’t enough time on paper of them together for the connection to really flourish. it needed at least another 50 pages in total to fully flesh out all the plot points, unfortunately it jumps around quite a bit after the 60% mark, after a fairly slow start. definitely disappointing, i’m still considering whether i’ll continue the series.

I was delighted to jump back into the world of Wilderise, which I loved from the second Alison set foot in Herot's Hollow. This was another light, easy read with themes of friendship, community and finding love. Overall, I appreciated the romance between Rinka and her mysterious beau, and I was glad to see how Alison and Keir's relationship developed as well. The setting was as wonderful as ever; one of my favourite things about this universe is watching the folklore evolve, between the spriggan and the korrigans and the fairies!
My only criticism is that I feel as though the dual-perspective shortened Rinka's story and made her romance feel rushed in places. I didn't have as many pages to get to know her, and I felt it near the end of the story. Still, a delightful read in a universe that I can't wait to explore further when the third book comes out. I would absolutely recommend this to cosy readers in search of an interconnected series of romantasies.

An amazing fairytale about all the creatures that live in this book!

I fell in love with Wilderise whilst reading the first book,
The Good and the Green. When the second book in the series was announced I did a little happy dance because it meant I could revisit the world I had grown to love, and spend more time with the characters that had become my friends.
The Bright and the Blue was such a treat to read! It’s another perfect read for when you want to cosy up with a cup of tea, maybe some biscuits, and get lost in a lovely, magical world.
The only few things I didn’t love is that it felt a little bit rushed, specifically Rinka’s story. As well as that suddenly some other “fantasy elements” were introduced, like mermaids and pirates, yet they had such a small part in the whole book. I also felt like a lot of things I loved in the first book were hardly part of it, like Gwenla, as well as the cats. It felt like they were just thrown into the story every so often.
I simply can’t wait for the next book and to visit my friends from Wilderise again 🩵

3 stars. Short. Kept switching perspectives, instead of being Rinka’s story alone, which kept pulling my attention in different directions. But mostly, THERE WAS NO RESOLUTION TO RINKA & IDRIS’ STORY. I couldn’t believe the story ended so abruptly. RINKA says that she and Idris hadn’t had a chance to talk after their confessions and didn’t know how it would work when he was due at the university and then the story ended! The romance wasn’t resolved, the solar project wasn’t resolved, the whole story and every plot point was left hanging for no reason that I could see.

I have mixed feelings about this book. While I found it to be a quick and interesting read, it did not stick out as much as the first book. I thought the character connections were clever, but I found the solution to the problem to be quite childish and simple. It did not contain the same mystery or adventure as the first book.

Second in a series of cozy fantasy books. I liked the cozy tone of this novel and the characters are likable. But it’s very much a middle-of-the-series novel. It alternates chapters between the point of view of Allison, the heroine of the first novel, and her roommate Rinka who is on her way from the city to stay with Allison in a village. On the journey, Rinka meets a mysterious man who becomes a love interest.
Overall it was just ok. The romance feels rushed/forced, perhaps because of the dual plotlines leaving only half the novel to develop it. There’s little depth, and it’s primarily driven by physical attraction. Yorke does do a good job with some cliffhangers in the middle of the novel, leaving one storyline hanging at an exciting point while switching to the other storyline. But conflicts often seem to be too easily resolved. Yes, this is a cozy, but major conflicts are resolved with a conversation on multiple occasions, and there are plot threads that are just abandoned because there are too many things going on, which makes the novel feel unsatisfying.
The central external conflict, the king’s mission to industrialize the area, destroying the village, seems to be something that will run through the whole series. They have a rather anticlimactic victory, but it leads to a set up of another conflict.
It’s a solid enough cozy fantasy, but although it left pretty much all the plot threads hanging to set up the next book, it didn’t capture my interest enough to invest in finishing the series.

✨ Fave Quote ✨
“Times may be changing, but not everyone has such progressive views on things. It took me ages to find a position after I lost my job as an office cleaner. I hated butchery, but when people look at me, they see violence, chaos, bloodshed. They don’t see beauty, grace, elegance, any of the things I think of when I think nobility.”
“If someone looks at you and fails to see beauty, then they’re blind.”
✨ Review ✨
This was an absolutely fantastic sequel to The Good and The Green! Yorke grew so much as a writer between books one and two; characters new and old sizzled with chemistry, the plot took some delightful twists and turns, and I fell in love with the world all over again.
What I loved: Swoon-worthy MMC, the most impeccable cozy vibes, feel-good read, surprisingly sexy at times, tender and heartfelt just like book one, dual POV (Alison and Rinka—double the romance, double the fun!)
I absolutely cannot wait to get a physical copy to add to my bookshelf. This series will forever be my go-to read when I want to get lost in a beautiful fantasy realm and feel better about the world 💕

If you love cottagecore and romantasy you should definetely check this series out!
Amy Yorke has done it again and made another delightful and cozy cottagecore romantasy. I was pleased to be back in Wilderise and to follow Alison, Keir, Gwenla, Rinka etc. again.
I LOVED book 1 and was super excited for this sequel. For me this was a 3.5/5 read as it confused me a little with the dual-perspective and storylines following both Alison and Rinka. I would have loved to primarily hear Rinkas story with small escapes to Alison's POW instead of the dual storyline (I know they're combined ish at the last part of the story but they still felt somewhat as two different plot happening at the same time). Due to this, I felt that Rinka's love story got shortened and hastened because there also needed to be space for Alison's continued story but my absolute favorite chapters of the book where when we followed Rinka on her journey and I could have read a whole (maybe multiple) book only about her story. There is so much potential in both Alison and Rinka's stories and I hope for a novella that will unfold all the scenes happening in between the chapters in The Blue and the Bright that we didn't get to know due to the dual perspective (fingers crossed).

Good
We head back to Wilderise with book two of this series. Picking up where book one left off, we find Alison in Herot’s Hollow, expecting the imminent arrival of her best friend Rinka.
Told in two voices, we hear from both Rinka’s point of view, and Alison’s, as they navigate the events in their own lives. Rinka’s journey to Wilderise, with all her adventures, and the mysterious man she meets on the way, doesn’t go quite as she planned.
Meanwhile, back in town, Alison and Kier have been getting closer, but when Kier’s father is said to be returning, it brings some bad news for the village.
This book is just as cosy and lovely as the first, with the same set of engaging characters, and a few new issues they have to face.
With a romance for Rinka, some intriguing magical development for Alison, and a new threat for Herot’s Hollow, there’s a lot happening, but it makes for a fun and engrossing read.
This light fantasy features a host of fantastical people, and is sure to be enjoyed by those who like their fantasy lighthearted and cosy.

my biggest complaint - and i guess seeing as it’s half the book, it’s a big one - is that i understand alison is the ultimate protagonist of the series, but i do wish the book had been solely from rinka’s point of view and we really could have gotten to know her and idris more the way we had alison and keir. they felt rushed because of that, despite the fact i knew they would of course be together by the end of the novel. i also thought that certain plot lines seemed to be brought up as big revelations and then … were solved so quickly through magic ( or because the length of the book didn’t allow for them to have the proper attention they deserved ) that it seemed pointless to bring them up at all. this felt like a very transitional novel - as if it were “book 1.5” rather than book 2, and i wish it wasn’t because i wanted to see more of rinka; wanted more emphasis on her finding love and being wanted despite being an orc ( she had trouble finding a job … love feels More than that ).

Book 2 in The Wilderise Tales is Rinka’s story, but her POV alternates with Alison so she is still a large part of the book. The Bright and the Blue gives us Rinka’s sweet surprise romance, and the magic continues with new magical characters and some we have seen before. I can’t imagine a more magical place to live. There are also so many messages interwoven into the story about how people treat each other, the environment, and the power of love. There are some twists and surprises to keep things interesting, but really this series is about friendship, love, and standing up for the important things in life. There is a small cliffhanger because although the town’s new problem is temporarily solved, the characters are now on a deadline to finish their project and find a new solution for the king. I thought book 2 was better than book 1, and it’s 5 stars!

Overall: an orc, Rinka, goes to meet up with her best human friend Alison in Wilderise, but on the way she gets dumped into the sea because of a man who won’t tell her who he is and because of pirates. When she finally gets to where Alison is, the man is revealed to be the prince, and Rinka then pretends to be a duchess to spend time with the prince while everyone else is trying to figure out how to stop the king from making their town into a huge lake behind a dam.
Pros: dragon shifters, more spriggan, positive trans representation
Cons: the prince character was great when we didn’t know who he was… and then he became a typical entitled prince. The storyline felt baggy, and a lot of the conflict and character development felt lost with the revelations of ‘they’re not dead’ or ‘we can magically make solar panels (which were not invented) in two weeks because we’re geniuses!

Stop using trans characters as plot twists!!! I'm not sure if this is isn't just terrible wish fulfillment that magical beings will take you away from your abusive family and support your transition, but it's awful. And the fact that Charlotte gets over decades of trauma and is ready to leave her found family after some magical memories from her brother's girlfriend all but five minutes later? So far from reality, it's absurd.
Using transition to excuse your family staring you in the face and not recognizing you is ridiculous, as most trans people will tell you that their family only sees their pre-transition face long after they have become who they were meant to be.
This book was clunky, but that was the final straw. I couldn't read beyond that chapter. DNF.

I enjoyed this book a lot, probably more than book one (which I also enjoyed)!
The primary reasons are Rinka and Drystan. Absolutely loved them and how they developed throughout the story.
This time, the story is a dual pov, switching between Allison and Rinka.
What I would've loved to see developed further are the relationships between Keir and his family. We're being told, instead of shown, and I felt a little bit disappointed by that. I did like the moments that Keir and Allison had together.
The pacing was a bit faster than in the first book, but I didn't mind as we still got the overall cosy vibes. Lovely read!

Another cozy fantasy, with Hallmark movie vibes. I liked Rinka and Drystan. Their personalities and romance were so fun! I enjoyed being on Wilderise again and the fun world and magic were easy to get immersed in.
This was not as cozy of a romance as the first one. Towards the end there was a lot of unnecessary innuendo and a fade-to-black scene. I wish it had stayed as sweet and fun as the first, and I'm not sure if I want to read the next one with the content changes. But if that doesn't bother you, this is a fun book and continuation of the first story. I didn't love it as much, but it was still enjoyable.

Welcome back to Wilderise. I am so excited to see our great little town. And this time, we have new friends joining us. The king is visiting!
The second book in Amy Yorke’s Wilderise series brought us the story that maybe more then just a few have magic, the team is trying to save the water source and Rinka is joining her best friend to live in Wilderise. And other great surprises. This is for sure a must read for those who love Travis Baldree or Rebecca Thorn.

"The Bright and the Blue" captivated me with its rich details and vivid descriptions. The world building is amazing, drawing readers into its enchanting settings. I appreciated the depth of character relationships, which added emotional weight to the story. Overall, this novel is a delightful blend of magic and storytelling that I thoroughly enjoyed.
September 24, 2024
I would round this up to 4.5 stars, I loved this one even more than the first book!
I felt like it captured the magical, whimsical feeling, with the addition of new characters and deepening plot to save Herot’s Hollow!
I also loved the dual POV’s as every chapter ended on a mini cliff hanger that kept me reading!!

I liked reading Rinka's tale and the follow-up we get on Alison and Kier as well. It's refreshing to read about a small community coming together to solve a problem foisted upon them by those in power. It's also nice to see an orc character defying the usual stereotypes and finding love in an unexpected place.

This was a book that I enjoyed but I didn't loved. One of the main reasons that made me not love this story was the pacing - it was rushed and because of that the revelations didn't have the impact that they deserved.
The book was a bridge that changed the tone of this world - it will no longer be sweet and cozy, it was added a depth to thka world.

Amy Yorke has brought us another light, cozy fantasy that was hard for me to put down in this second installment of The Wilderise Tales. Loved getting to know Rinka and Idris and watching their chemistry unfold.
Such a pleasant read!

I loved this look into Rinka's story and her growth as a character. This was a great continuation of the first book and I can't wait to read the next story. Definitely going to purchase the set for my bookshelf soon!

I will continue this series for sure but this book felt a little random and disjointed to me. I definitely liked the first one more. However, the vibes of the little town (and talking cat) were amazing and so cozy.
August 18, 2024
I loved this book! This book introduced some new characters, had different POVs between Alison and Rinka, two love stories, stories converging, more magical elements, same cozy small town setting and of course some drama! I think I liked the first one better but this was a great follow up in my opinion. Excited to read #3 in September! I’m so happy I found this cozy fantasy series on Kindle Unlimited; this has been the perfect series to get me in the cozy fall mood 🥰✨🍂

I liked the sequel to the previous “The Good and the Green”, however not as much as its predecessor. The romance was even more insta-love than the first book and the story itself wasn’t as exciting. Now onto the next book!

Thoroughly enjoying this little series!! 💚🩵🧡🩶Moving on to the 3rd book🧡 soo relaxing and feel good read. Cute story and interesting little twist's happening to keep it exciting and fun!Very light read and alot of romance in between!
