Even better than the first book! The second installation of the trilogy is a rich tapestry of interwoven lives and loves as the families and backgrounds of each character is revealed in delectable vignettes.

This was a fantastic second book! I think I enjoyed Born In Syn a fraction more, and it was because I loved Ere and Ever so much! This book takes us back in time to see how the Syn movement began, so we spend our time with the Fell family tree and work our way up to where we left off. While completely necessary and fascinating, I missed Ere and Ever so much, and I can’t wait to see what happens to them in book 2.
I love how Beth Kander writes, and this book was no exception. The characters are fascinating. I especially loved Howard as a kid. I also loved seeing theories I formed in Book 1 be proven correct.
All in all, a great book, and I’m so excited for the final installment!
