Kingdom of Shadows: The Lifetime Academy (Stones of Amaria Book 2) by Jen L. Grey is an awesome story to read. This is book number two in this awesome series that I can not wait to read the next book. I highly recommend to everyone.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
Kingdom of Shadows is here and you better buckle up and settle in because this book brings it! Where the first book had a slower pace, this book kicks things in gear and builds not just the suspense but the romance element as well.
Kingdom of Shadows is book two in Jen L. Grey’s Amaria Stones spin-off series and I like that this addition has more going for it than the first. The author picks up around the same time as the first book left off, but some time has passed. Cinder, Fury, and the others are all too aware of the fact that they are essentially trapped in this cave/cavern system with the Seer. They need to find a way out, but the question soon arises…what is the Seer’s end game?
I enjoyed this book more than the first. This book grabbed me and pulled me as the pace speeds up and the situations became more riveting. We’re seeing the true colors of Joash and I’m ready for someone to bring him down to the ground already. LOL! I can’t stand his arrogance and how he thinks that the world should be his. I absolutely love that we get a taste of backstory concerning the history of the kingdom, but as the storyline shifts I can’t help but question more things that are now becoming a major tangled web. What can we believe? How much is true? What’s going to happen next?
The romance speeds up significantly in this story as well. I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I can understand it and appreciate how it fuels the storyline and the characters. It’s necessary to build their bond, but then my concern arises…are they being manipulated? I love the suspense that the author writes into this book. It keeps me page-turning and wanting to know what is going to happen next. Now! For those who HATE cliffhangers…not me of course, but…there is one. A HUGE one! The author says “The End” but I’m going with…there WILL be more. LOL! There has to be. So just hang in there.
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. The story is coming together and I’m beyond eager for more in this branch off of the Amaria Stones. I just hope that the story begins to tie to the stones more as they have not been distinctly identified. But this book is absolutely a huge improvement on the first book and I’m eager for more.
The second book in this series does not disappoint. Once you start reading it you will be drawn right in and won’t be able to stop until the very end. The characters and storyline are are so well written that you can’t help but feel like you are part of it.
Kingdom of Shadows is turning out to be an awesome series! Two kingdoms at the brink of war. The only thing that might bring them together is two cross star lovers . They should be enemies and yet life fated them to be soul mates. Stuck together with friends and foes at a strange academy, they must learn to work together if they are to survive the trials and tasks the Seer gives them. Looks can be deceiving and im not sure what the Seer’s true intentions are. Cant wait for more! Read this with my kindle unlimited
A fun, fantasy serial that’ll leave you hanging. It’s like watching an episode of your favorite series as Cinder, Fury, and co. try to unravel the Seer’s secrets and ensure Pyr’s survival. For every piece of the puzzle revealed, another layer is introduced but unknown. I love the mystery and female supporting characters, but the depth of Cinder and Fury’s bond hasn’t resonated with me quite yet. While I’d have liked a little more story progression, I was still pleased by the morsels uncovered and the naturalness to the stopping point. I love the shared world and glimpsing the overarching politics at play. A quick, fast-paced read for fans of fantasy and interconnected serial reads.
Cinder and Fury and the others pull you back into their trials and issues and trying to work together to save both their kingdoms and still keep to themselves but when things get heated and they have to help a small group of phoenixes will this mission help try and bring them together or will a few of them remain stubborn? Amazing read of twist and turns and so many emotions that will.leave you wanting more.can’t wait to read the next.
This is book two in the series and definitely needs to be read in order. The relationships of all the Phoenix in the Lifetime Academy, are slowly building strength as they have to start trusting one another and their roles in saving Pyr. That trust and faith in one another is hard to accomplish due to the prejudice stories they were each given from their families of how the two sides formed.
Read to find out what Cinder, Fury and the rest of the academy have to endure to escape the Ancient Seer while also protecting Pyr. Expect building suspense and a few surprises along the way.
This was a great sequel to Kingdom Of Storms. Cinder and Fury and the other are sent on a task for the seer. Unsure of what to expect they find themselves in a dangerous situation where they have to rely upon other people they know nothing about during this time Cinder and Fury form the true mates bond of which they were unsure of until everything fell in to place around them I cant wait for the next book what an ending
