I just love this series. It has action, suspense, steaminess, magic. I was engrossed from start to finish. I’m torn, I hope the 4 kings can get along so Aria doesn’t have to lose anyone. I find myself wanting her with all of them! Will Galima get her revenge, will Aria beat her? Read to find out! I can’t wait to read the next book.
I’m loving this series! As I hoped with the first book, Aria’s powers increased but there’s still so much to be revealed! There were several more adversaries introduced as we read as well, making things interesting and keeping us on our toes. I know I’m not the only one thinking they were going to be added them to the harem haha. The guys in this book drove me crazy! There were times when they were so sweet but then other times I wanted to punch them in the face. I’m hoping to see different sides to each king. We only saw glimpses in this book but I’m dying to know more about them. I think they all could benefit from learning about each other as well. Maybe they could come to more of an understanding instead of automatically assuming that the others are spoiled or undeserving of titles because of how they grew up. Although the two set of twins hate each other, it is clear that they are capable of working together towards a common goal, as long as that goal revolves around the safety of Aria. The next book should be pretty interesting. I have a feeling things are going to be changing drastically regarding Aria’s relationships!
Well we continue with Aria Kolgrim’s story. Only this time I felt that she just was not strong enough to stand her ground. Even though she has a pull to all four kings I felt that she could have had more of a backbone. The whole story seemed to me was to be revolved in finding her friend Cas. It also touches on the tournament that the kings are trying to win. So not only is that going one you also have two other players in the mix. Queen Galima is after Aria and Wrath wants Aria for her power. So who wins the tournament? Does she find out where her friend is? Well if you want to know more you will need to read the book.
Trials of Ravenwell is the second book in the Four King’s Academy series by Taylor Spratt. The book begins where the first one ended where Aria is forced into a tournament to be a Queen, but only two of the men can be King. To top off the games, Aria is also fighting for her life against Galima who keeps sending assassins Aria’s way and the Chancellor has an evil agenda which is forcing the Academy to turn on itself. To say that Aria isn’t having an easy time is kind of an understatement. Underneath it all, Aria is still stuck in the middle between the four men and nothing seems to be really going her way.
This story is told from multiple points of views so you get to see and understand more of the characters whilst laughing along with Aria’s internal monologue. There is a lot going on in this story and it would really benefit you as a reader if you read the first book to understand who everyone is and you get to know them better than in the first book. The story is flowing and full of action and there as like the last book is a huge cliff-hanger at the end…it’s just priming you for the next installment.
ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review
More of my reviews can be found on my blog: https://thehotmesslibrary.blogspot.com
I really struggled to keep going with some of this book. A few times I wanted to just put it down. It was so frustrating to read about the characters, especially the kings. They flipped from one second all friendly and nice to literally the next sentence to being nasty and evil (mostly Bane & Luca), it was so hard to keep up with them that it made it really hard to keep reading, felt like I had whiplash trying to keep up.
Aria didn’t help either, one minute she was all feisty and standing up for herself and them the next she was putty in their hands, and don’t get me started on how turned on she got from being abused by them.
I just wanted them all to make up their minds, one way or the other.
The writing of this book is excellent, the pace is good too, it’s just elements of the story I struggled with.
Theres a cliffhanger but I’m not convinced it will make me want to read book 3.
Received ARC from Author for Honest Review.
I Give this Book a 3.5-4/5 Star Rating, Listing as a high 3.
Cliffhanger(?): Yes!!
Relationship Type: Reverse Harem
Heat: 4-4.5/5
Romance: 3-3.5/5 (not a bad thing, it fits the flow of the series)
Drama: 4.5/5
Suspense: 4/5
Dark(?): This is not Dark? 0/5. 🙂
No Epic Spoilers.
Can’t deny the flow in the beginning felt a bit off, even though it did pick up from first book. Did have a bit of an issue with the many POV’s, especially in the beginning, near the front of this book should’ve been mainly Aria first, then have the other POV’s mingled in, rather than completely dominate and have their own single chapter(s). It kinda felt like she was being erased from her own series a little bit.
Aria and her Men should be the only ones that should dominate chapters (in my opinion). Because the other POV’s being so immediate, make an attempt to skew your opinion of Aria.
This is surprisingly a fast paced read, I wasn’t expecting that.
This is a pretty good read, though it felt a little bit like there were fillers in some areas.
Even though there was a lot of Heat scene which I LOVED(!!!). I do feel like other than those scenes, Aria still wasn’t the front runner in this book, like she was in book 1.
I am looking forward to Book 3 because I am anticipating what will be happening next cause that’s was a pretty good cliffhanger!
This is an amazing follow up to book 1 of the series! I loved this book! The character development is fantastic and the storyline is awesome! I cannot wait for the next book!
