If book one was your favorite then you will love Queen of the Shining Sea. A satisfying return to the mood and tone of that first book and most importantly, Jon and Rielle are finally able to reconcile with some amazing results. I really loved everything about this installment except maybe for the ending. I shudder at the thought of yet another Dark Jon redemption arc and hope the strain on his relationship with Rielle won’t be too extreme after all the torture we’ve already been through in By Dark Deeds. I also have to say that without the previews for the next book to immediately soften the blow, the cliffhanger was poorly executed and ended too jarringly. Anyway, I’m really ready for the next book and as the story unfolds, it reminds me more and more of the Choices story The Crown & The Flame, from the thematically similar series titles down to the literally hot-blooded character Dominic who can also turn into a dragon. He is a dead ringer for Jon. Not that it’s a bad thing. Just very reminiscent in a number of ways to another story that I love. Can’t wait for December to hopefully see their HEA.
