Evidently, this is Book 2 of a YA series, of which Hidden Princess is Book 1 (which I urge you to read first). Life got in the way and it took me three days to read what might possibly be read in one LONG day.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I was eager to devour book two, as I could bear to stay away from these characters. Yet I fear that my expectations would be crushed as I held the series in high esteem. But I have no need to fear for book two was as promising as book one. Now if only book three is already available…

Remi, now the crown prince, was angry at Lis for hiding her true nature from him. Living in a land where magic is outlawed, she used her magic only because she felt she had to. Remi had cared for her and hadn’t guessed that she was magic. It shook him to find out that she was, and it raised trust issues for him that he wasn’t sure he could ignore.
Now Remi was visiting the prison to get information from the captive magics on what really happened to his brother Ta-Sho — who had killed him? The magics wanted Lis dead, but how was that connected to his brother? He wasn’t aware the magics were trying to prevent a prophecy. He also wasn’t aware of how many people had been aware of the magic. If he didn’t get something soon, his father would have them all killed and they would learn nothing more.
Soon, Remi and the Hidden princess, Lis, will have to work together against the numerous enemies they hadn’t known they had. All those secrets they kept that seemed so small will now come back to hurt them, as well as the whole Empire of Rei-Een!
This was an interesting book, but I did struggle with not having read Book 1. It seems that the main theme of the book is trust and re-establishing trust once it has been shaken or compromised. Can Remi and Lis work together? Or will betrayal await them within all the secrets, lies, and promises? Grab your copy and find out where this all leads.
