Review: ***Warning there will be spoilers if you have not read the first two books.*** 

First two books are Broken Aro and Broken Prince. I am enjoying this series so far. Broken Prince ended with Prince returning home. Aro is even more confused about everything. About the prophecy, her kiss with the prince, magic, and where she fits in. With her being the only human known to do magic, she is wondering more about magic and why humans don’t have any.

That is the thing with falling in love. You can do it more than once. You can fall in, you can fall out.

Aro faces some tough battles in this one. Living in the city for the winter has turned out to be just as dangerous as living in the forest. The Were king isn’t happy with her and neither are the Elves. Making some new enemies is easy for her but she is also finding new friends in Hale and a pirate. Or at least she is trying to.

I have to say this one was very up and down for me. I felt I was on a roller coaster. There were certain parts I was just like meh who cares to parts that I was on the edge of my seat wondering what is going to happen. There were a few times I had to stop myself from skimming just to find out what happened. I love that Wylie made a heroine who will save herself and not wait on a man to do it. So awesome.

Now I went to get the next book and ran into a snag. IT ISN’T EVEN OUT YET!!! What the blue heck? This is the fourth series I am having to wait on a bloody book to come out. Not cool! Can I please read a series that is all the way out and I don’t have to wait.

I read the first book, Broken Aro, about a month or so ago and really enjoyed it. It was a new take on YA fantasy. Quite refreshing actually. I have a feeling about Kei and Aro. Just the way the prophecy is referenced it seems like there might be a little love relationship between them in the distant/near future. There is also a hint of something with Prince and Aro. I really don’t like love triangles.

The story continues on from the first one. They are trying to get Prince home so he doesn’t die. As explained at the end in the first book, Elves power is tied to their land. They can leave as long as they have a piece of their homeland with them. Prince use to have an amulet that held his homeland. When caught by the slavers, Prince had his amulet taken away. Slowly he started to die. With this happening, Aro is having a hard time to bare. She doesn’t want Prince to die.

Along the way they have some hardships. Meet a Were Garen who joins them and deal with Damon some more. Prince and Aro’s relationship is more developed in this book. We go into more depth with Aro’s feelings with everyone and the situation on hand. Being a sixteen year old and having to face adult choices is hard. I like that we understand what she is going through.

The writing is superb and the story line was put together nicely. I got caught up in this just like in Broken Aro. Wylie also clears up the little hinted love triangle. I like that. I also like the cover. I love the piercing blue eyes.
