MY TIDBITS
Get ready for royal tension, intrigue and action because this novel is packed with all three.
Lady Psyche is beginning to realize who the villain truly is and is in more danger than she realized. Since she's actually Lady Medea inside (body switch), she might be able to ward off, at least, direct physical attacks, but Psyche's weak body makes it almost impossible. Luckily, Lady Medea (who is Psyche inside) is also realizing the real culprit. Both are just at the beginning of discovering the various evil plans and weaves surrounding them, and both are discovering secrets about themselves. Still, they are in terrible danger and will have to discover much more if they want to survive.
This is a wonderfully illustrated read with action and emotion coming across in every scene. The characters hold quite a bit of depth, which makes it easy to sink into each one. This isn't a light story but lets the danger seep into every situation like a dark, looming shadow. The villains are scheming and will do anything to achieve their hidden goals. Psyche and Medea, on the other hand, are still unaware, which makes them huge targets. It creates tension on every page, drives the tale forward, and holds action scenes which grab. There are also darker sides to some personalities, which adds triggers surrounding abuse and more.
Like the first book in this series, the tale constantly flips between current time and flashbacks. This was very confusing, especially in the first half of the read, and I found myself rereading several section. Everything flowed much better in the second half, which made it easy to sink into the story...and not put it down until the last page. Some of the flashbacks are noted as to the time, but others simply happen without notice. This is, sometimes, also noticeable by a change in the color tones, but not always. So, like book one, this still doesn't work for me.
Otherwise, this is a very grabbing read. The plot levels are intriguing and the characters carry the heart and problems to make the read one to get lost in and enjoy. If only it flowed a little bit better on the timeline end. Still, I'm looking forward to seeing where the next chapters head because I'm rooting for both ladies to figure things out and put those villains in their place.
