The troll king's reign is absolute under the mountain and the troll with the capability to overthrow him is imprisoned for treason. Cecile has recovered from her injuries and soon learns that she is not out of the king's reach. In order to find the witch and destroy the witch whose curse holds her love captive, Cecile must delve into magic both dark and deadly. She must be careful that the hunter does not become the hunted.Sometimes one must accomplish the impossible
Characters ~ B
So much character growth in this! Now I know we were all broken hearted when Tristan sent Cecile away, but I really believe this time apart was necessary! Cecile was able to discover how she feels away from Tristan, the trolls, and all that she discovered while in Trollus.
I was a fallen prince. Twice a traitor, having betrayed both my father and my cause in a single moment, ensuring that I would remain an outcast for whatever remained of my life. All for a human girl who I loved above all things, and all, it seemed, for nothing.
Tristan has to drag himself away from his self-pity to become a king and a selfless leader. Trollus is in far worse shape than before. The half-bloods are restless, leaderless, and have turned to the king. The fight for the crown has never been more complex. The king has outwitted Tristan at every turn and Tristan has to figure out a new strategy, and maybe even win over his father once again.
"Do you still wish to play?" "I will play. But only because there is no other worthy opponent." "You're losing." "But I haven't lost."

I missed the characters from Trollus, like Marc, Victoria, and Vincent!! I wished they played a larger part in this book.
Writing ~ A
Honestly, I found myself annoyed with Cecile in this one! She seemed distracted and too busy being a performer than trying to save Tristan. I know that is probably a bit harsh, but I just wanted them to reunite!! The best part of the book was Tristan's growth into a true leader. Then of course the reunion and the growth of their relationship! I just love these two together!
He loved me, and I loved him. And I'd love him as long as I lived, and if my soul endured, I'd love him for eternity.

The book is filled with betrayal, a swoon worth Tristan, character deaths, dual POV (found myself preferring Tristan's), a fight for the throne, answers left unsaid in the first are answered, and a major cliffhanger!! ):
Overall Rating ~ 3 stars!
