Kerrick and Avry are back in this sequel to Touch of Power, again to save the Fifteen Realms. Finally, we find out if saving one King was worth the sacrifice that Kerrick and the band so strongly believed in in the first book. Luckily, Healer Avry has survived the posion that kills everyone else and now to save the realm the two lovers - having just confessed their love - must travels to the opposite ends of the world to save everything they hold dear. Avry wants to find her sister and goes undercover, while Kerrick goes up north where a terrible surprise awaits him when he reunites with his family.
What I find refreshing about Snyder are her brave choices in plot twists. She is never afraid to risk killing a favourite character or bring back another thought dead. It makes for interesting reading. I also thouroughly enjoyed the world building in this one, as we discover more about the lillies and their powers and uses.
Snyder is one of those authors I go back to once every couple of years cause she is such fun to read. The sense of humour laced throughout her series keeps bringing me back. I am happy to see her writing improve as compared to Poison Study, which was a little simplistic to read. I will always buy her books and recommend her to all fans of Tamora Pierce and Kristin Cashore. She is not as good as those two, but she features female protagonists who are strong and courageous and are not afraid to make difficult choices. Looking forward to the sequel.
