Review

Luc and his sister Jasmine return in this sequel to "Fates" (2014), though their previous journey has left them changed. After successfully rescuing his sister from the Blood Nymphs, Luc returns to his own world with Jasmine. Jasmine has no memory of the events of her imprisonment and rescue, but she quickly discovers that whatever did happened left her with heightened abilities. Luc is determined not to accept his destiny, and quickly sets off to find a way to reverse time and bring Corinthe back from the dead. Luc and Jasmine find themselves in the middle of the war between Executors, Radicals, and Unseen Ones; a struggle between those who believe in fate, and those who believe in destiny.

Switching viewpoints between Luc and Jasmine, Bross takes her characters on another head-spinning adventure. Fans of the previous book will appreciate a sequel, but will not be completely satisfied as there are indications that the story will continue in another book. The difficult plot and very complex world-building may deter most readers. Those who enjoyed Stephanie Meyer's "Twilight" series may enjoy this romantic series that has added elements of chaos and science fiction spin may also enjoy this series. Recommended for grades 7 and up.

Overall Book Score: good
