I gave this book a rating of 5 because I loved it. It dealt with punishment and deception. Hearts in a twists. There are many surprises in the book. I recommend this book to anyone that loves the fables.
The second book in the Fabled Hunters series did not disappoint, as the tensions between Isabelle, Silvan, and Jack increase. More secrets are revealed while others remain hidden in this Cinderella-esque tale. In the first book, I noticed the first half contained a good and intriguing story, but the second half was so riveting I flew through it, hardly able to put it down. The same held true for this book. The conflict is established, and the stakes are set in the first half, and in the second half as the pace quickens, problems pile up, and pieces start falling into place it becomes difficult not to hurry to the end to discover how things will be resolved. Similar to the first book in the series, this one leaves the reader's interest piqued with the need to dive into the next book.
The story continues as Isabelle begins her Fabled Hunter training. Isabelle learns some of Jack's and Silvan's secrets (there are some good ones) in this story but the question of the romance triangle is not resolved. I guess we have to wait for book 3.
Isabelle does mature some and is a little less selfish. She is starting to think about how servants are treated in addition to having some qualms about how she beat Jack in the competition. She is also learning to not lie and to say that she needs to wait to tell the full story when she can not yet explain what is going on.
Sex - none Language - none Violence - none Religion - none
Second in fantasy series, this book picks up where book 1 left off. The transition is good with little to no break. The story becomes more intense in this book.
