My Review: 5/5 Stars
Wow. People weren't kidding about that cliffhanger! That was pretty brutal! So another great book by Brigid Kemmerer! I loved Defy the Night so I was happy to hear there was a sequel. And after reading Defend the Dawn, there's gotta be another one after that! So much happened in this book. Lots of twists and turns. So the book picks up not too long after the last one. Corrick, Tessa, and Harristan are trying to make peace with the rebels and find a way to provide everyone with medicine. But it isn't as easy as one would think. The progress is slow. Not just for the rebels but for Tessa too. Even Harristan and Corrick are frustrated but they know that is just how things are. Nothing can be done so quickly. Then to make more matters more complicated, a man arrives from Ostriary claiming to mend the relationship between the two countries and it can help both countries in the end. Tessa and Corrick soon find themselves on a ship to the country. But their journey there is anything but simple. This story started a bit slow for me but it picked up halfway through. Tessa and Corrick are going through some ups and downs as they try to figure out their relationship. And with so much conflict and uncertainty, it's hard to figure out who to trust. When we aren't reading about Tessa and Corrick, we get a surprise point of view from someone back in Kandala. Loved that little twist to the story! But by the end of this book, things have blown up on the sea and on land, and I cannot wait to see how it all plays out.
