Gifted Clans Book 2: The Last Fallen Moon by Graci Kim

Gifted Clans Book 2

For Riley Oh, life as the Godrealm’s last fallen star is not all it’s cracked up to be. Her new divine heritage doesn’t even come with cool magical powers; half of her friends and family (including her parents) can’t remember her; and to top it all off, the entire Gom clan is mad at her for killing the Cave Bear Goddess and stripping away their healing abilities.

But when their anger boils over and a group of witches curse Riley’s home, she knows it’s up to her to restore magic back to her clan – even if it means sneaking into the Spiritrealm.

Luckily, Riley has some backup. Along with her sister, Hattie, Riley meets Dahl, a heaven-born boy with shockingly white hair and a fondness for toilets who might not be telling the whole truth about who he is. Together they’ll fight vicious monsters, discover dark underwater worlds, and race to save the land of the dead from a fate that no one could have foreseen.

And this time, Riley won’t let anything get in her way. Because she can’t shake the feeling that something terrible is coming their way – and the gifted community is going to need all the powers they can get.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

Though Riley's last adventure may have been a success and her sister returned, things aren't exactly the best. Her friends and family have no memory of who she is and the Gom clan blame her for the loss of their magic when she defeated the Cave Bear Goddess. And even though her sister Hattie is the only one who remembers her, she is still slipping into sleep comas that are getting longer and longer. And after a bunch of witches curse their home, Riley has had enough. She devises a plan to get her clan's magic back with the hope that it helps her family and heals Hattie. But to do that means going to the Spiritrealm and only the dead can go there. She'll come up with an impossible plan, meet unexpected friends and allies in the realm, and discover that there is no magical solution to her problems. And there is a war that is slowly brewing. A great follow up to The Last Fallen Star! We meet some new and interesting characters and get plenty of new mythology. I'm looking forward to the final book in this series!
