I was so lucky to read this book as a beta reader last year! When I was graced with the opportunity to ARC read it as well, I couldn’t resist!
@jynamaengbooks has created such a wonderful and strong FMC in Arla! Her growth from the first book-“A Kingdom of Whispers”-only adds to the story as a whole!
The struggle between the Low Borns and High Borns reaches a fever pitch when it’s discovered that Whispers (think magic powers) can be given to anyone. Will Arla be able to save her kingdom and the ones she loves?

Review of advance copy received from Author
I finished this book yesterday, but had to sit on it before writing the review. It really moved me.
It was an emotional read in a way I didn't expect. See, I had loved the fluffy, gentle love of the first book; Arla and Leo were the quintessential grumpy/sunshine for me. Entering this second book with such expectations was... Brutal.
I have to admit I missed that fluffiness for a good portion of it, like an ageing mother who struggles to see their children grow.
And the characters do grow, so much; through conflict and difficulties harsher and more nuanced than I'd expect from a book aimed a younger audience. At times, I genuinely doubted they would make it, and the ending warranted a cry.
I've held Arla and Leo close to my heart for a while and it won't be easy to let them go.

I went into this with high hopes and wasn't disappointed, it didn't go in the direction I expected which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I love the character growth and I think it was beautifully written.
