I like reading from the perspective of multiple characters. If you’ve read my blog at all by now you know I love me some dual perspectives in my books. In fact, this weekend I re-read a couple books from a series that was one of my favorites when I was a YA (Daughters of the Moon by Lynne Ewing) and was so disappointed! I cannot believe how much lower quality some of the books were when I was a YA compared to what’s out there now! Lucky Lucky!įirst thing I loved about this book? Duel perspectives.
You teens (and myself) are so flipping lucky to live in the time you do, because you have so many excellent fantasy books at your disposal! I didn’t have these kind of excellent options as a YA. Plus and are full of fantastic reviews for the book, so I gave it a try. Don’t get me wrong, I adore all of those as well, but when I saw the chance to read about a new type of creature I was intrigued. The first thing that attracted me was that the main mythological figures are Trolls! It’s a great change of pace from the more typical vampire/werewolf/fae creatures we’ve been seeing a lot of. And a centuries old witches curse as well! Gotta love it. This book has it all, a unique and well-developed cast of characters, romantic tension, political intrique, and high-stakes fantasy elements. I adored this book, and quickly read the sequel Hidden Huntress as well. She becomes a princess, the hope of a people, and a witch with magic powerful enough to change Trollus forever. And her prince, Tristan, the future king, is its secret leader.Īs Cécile becomes involved in the intricate political games of Trollus, she becomes more than a farmer’s daughter. And she begins to see that she may be the only hope for the half-bloods – part troll, part human creatures who are slaves to the full-blooded trolls. She will have to bide her time, wait for the perfect opportunity.īut something unexpected happens while she’s waiting – she begins to fall for the enigmatic troll prince to whom she has been bonded and married. Only the trolls are clever, fast, and inhumanly strong. But a prophesy has been spoken of a union with the power to set the trolls free, and when Cécile de Troyes is kidnapped and taken beneath the mountain, she learns there is far more to the myth of the trolls than she could have imagined.Ĭécile has only one thing on her mind after she is brought to Trollus: escape. Time enough for their dark and nefarious magic to fade from human memory and into myth. Kindle #6.29.įor five centuries, a witch’s curse has bound the trolls to their city beneath the ruins of Forsaken Mountain. I saw this on amazon and I loved the whole concept of it so I had to read it. Themes: love, duty, sacrifice, deception, political intrigue, magical curse
