Exiled for a treason that she did not commit and estranged from her friends, Beatrice Harrow finds herself caught up in the politics of her unwanted kingdom. With the looming Throne Test and a High Council to contend with, she soon discovers that the Synfee Empire without Nareon is a dangerous, duplicitous place. It feels as if her grip is slipping, with Nareon mysteriously gaining strength and an invisible enemy threatening her from both sides of the border. How long will it be until the whisperings of war on the horizon become a reality, and she is forced to step into the role that she has been avoiding? And will Hazen Read, the newly crowned ruler of the Human Empire, stand with her?

A positive direction for the series, look forward to a third!
By Alistair Crowley
I spent all night reading this and though I don't remember exactly what happened in the first book, I do think that Washington touched on some of the criticisms I had for the first one and improved on it. That being said, I really do like this book but I would gave it a solid 3.5 stars for reasons I'll get into further. The previous book was about a magical being (synfee) called Beatrice Harrow, who comes into her own or starts a journey thereof while befriending a number of characters. A major event that occurred at the end of the first book makes Beatrice an unwanted figure in the human kingdom in this book, continuing from right after the first book ended. She came into power in the synfee kingdom and this book explores the challenges of being a teenage Queen, unseen forces plotting against her, whether or not she can trust those around her and develops some of the relationships with other characters that was set up before.
There are quite a few threads strewn in this book, but a number of them aren't quite explored with enough depth or "time." Namely, this book has poor pacing and the major issues aren't quite given arcs they need to be completely successful on a whole. ***Spoilers warning from here on (side note: I normally don't bother writing in depth reviews of books unless I really loathe them or really like them but want to help the author).
-There's a weird sort of anti-climatic tension where the reader expects that the book would be about Beatrice on the run from the human kingdom, accused as a traitor for killing their King and attempting to kill Hazen, the prince - possibly encountering hostile synfees who want to play on that and dispose of Beatrice from her new throne but it doesn't go there! The issue is resolved quite neatly (or so you think). The upside is that it avoids some of the cliche direction that one would expect but the downside is that it doesn't give enough bulk to the denouement of this aspect. If a whole kingdom is clamoring for a killer/attempted killer and she escapes, there is no way they'd be fine with her coming back to attend their Academy while waiting for a trial...and dropping the whole thing after the trial concludes. The whole plot point regarding this is never mentioned again, missing some opportunities for well rounded villains or grey characters in the human kingdom (for example, a person could have killed her father in revenge for believing she off'd their King. The whole riotous humans who hate her and their group could have been a good thing to establish, a rebellious faction that Hazen has to deal with but it's really mentioned for one chapter and never touched on again).
-Speaking of grey characters, the book never really fleshes out why Leif followed Elias to the end and betrayed Beatrice - setting her up for the whole final showdown. I mean yes, his mind vision speech to Miriam kind of touches on why in that he views no place for a weak/soft person as Beatrice on the throne but it is also insinuated or foreshadowed that he murdered her father. This is never explained quite fully, in that Elias ordered him to do it for the hell of it (being sick and twisted and all) but the driving motivation is weak. There is never any direct confrontation between Leif and Beatrice, thereby robbing any psychological insight into Leif's actions. He is set up to be multi dimensional but ends up being rather one sided - he's an assassin loyal to Elias and played Beatrice because that's what he was expected to do. There's nothing giving any insight to why out of the three brothers, he was loyal to Elias - whether there was any history in his childhood that explains that or something else.
-This brings me to Elias, um...he shows up suddenly and is foreshadowed by Louis the vampire quite shortly. I feel that the pacing between this was too short for the impact it needed. If the truly tainted ones were set up at the beginning, with more sinister encounters that affected the synfee kingdom then there would be that tension that raises the stakes. Instead Beatrice spends a lot of the book "training" which is good because it shows that through hard work and discipline she becomes a stronger fighter but there aren't enough what I would call "mini boss fights or trigger events" (yes too many video games) to show the reader how she is stronger. Instead of a build-up of a journey that gets her to the climax, it's a lull followed by BANG. Though, the twist is worth it - I didn't see it coming for a while and I appreciated the better explored back story about Ashen, Elias and Nareon. Out of all the characters, Nareon is still the most appealing.
-Another issue to do with pacing is that the world building is still tenuous. I find it odd that Beatrice knows absolutely nothing about the world they're in, not even neighboring lands or far off lands. I would assume, at a place called the Academy they teach about world...geography/history...and even in a fantasy world, it's reasonable to assume that there would be explorers or delegates to lands on the same continent. I find it unbelievable that kingdoms don't bother exploring and wouldn't know about nearby conquerors, especially in ones that aren't completely primitive. It's assumed that they only ride horses and fight with medieval weapons and "magic" but hey, Vikings explored and stuffed. But, because of this the sudden introduction of united kingdoms needing to face off a foreign threat comes in too late and the time that would have been needed to pit the issue of dealing with Elias and amassing an army/making peace with neighboring lands something I would have wanted to read about. I think that the material in this book could easily have been separated into two books, had they been stretched out (Beatrice dealing with wrongfully accused of murder while trying to take control of the synfee kingdom, Beatrice dealing with Elias (or unseen threat trying to dispose of her and Beatrice dealing with needing to negotiate with Dom and Louis, maybe convincing people to rally). Dom and Louis are barely developed and there is no back story or who or what the renegades are, their history/culture and their relationship with the synfees.
-Most of the characters aren't developed with enough "personality" aside from maybe Ashen and the three stooges (aka her personal bodyguards). There's an odd, almost awkward tone shift between comedy and ease into sudden ultimate threat. I think Washington has great strength in developing relationships between characters between conservations and light banter, but because the characters themselves lack some depth the impact is lessened. I'll touch on the love "triangle". It was actually kind of hilarious that Harbringer turned out to be married...(I found the mind partner going insane thing interesting, kind of like in Vampire Academy where the shadow kissed partner goes insane) but after that was revealed, he kind of disappears and there's no time really given to what would have been a tragic back story about his wife. I think the Hazen side was good, but could have used slightly more fleshing out.
- Barely developed minor characters: Cereen, Rohan, Flora, Rose, Miriam - they could have used slightly more.
So in conclusion after all my nitpicking, a very good positive is that Beatrice matures. She doesn't give up and she doesn't get fazed out and her personal conflict is that she can never trust others, because she doesn't know whether they truly like her or if it's because of her ability - something I found unique and well developed. From what I remember, it's a strong contrast and the change in her approach after being manipulated isn't really explored with finesse but it does build her progression. She becomes a very likeable character, and the romance subplot was gratifying. Despite the pacing issues and too many plot potentials thrown in and a lack of depth in some areas, I would say that this is one of the more unique and likeable YA fantasy romance books and I read them in bulk so that's saying a lot!

Good
By Jessica
I really enjoyed this book and it would've received a 5 star rating from me (which is what I gave the first book) if it weren't for a few things I thought were kind of irritating.
One of those things was the whole romantic element in this book. In both 'Hereditary' (Book One) and this book, the affections of the MC seem to kind of veer all over the place leading you to think one thing for half the book and then abruptly changing the situation.
Another thing was that, I dislike plots where a person is made out to be quite powerful and then they barely use their power, and never in important times where people's lives are on the line. Like what's the point in your Bender ability or Death ability if you're not going to use them?
Overall though, these were minor annoyances and I still thought this book and series (is it a series when there's only two books?) was definitely worth reading.
4.5 stars

AWESOME. I read every day and books like this ...
By Sebastieneska
One word: AWESOME. I read every day and books like this don't come around often. The last book I read that had this sort of originality and pure addictiveness was Protector of the Small by Tamora Pierce 5 years ago. I have already bought the next one, absolutely can not wait for next weekend to read it!!!!!!!
