[Lorie Grover · Rating 5 out of 5]

After Firstborn, Tia's story flies fast with intensity, struggle, and growth in Secondborn. Having been rejected as a female, she's now lauded as a mirror of this people's goddess. Seemingly trapped in the situation, she searches for truth and her own power. Looking forward to concluding the Firstborn Cycle with Thirdborn!
