The War of Lost Hearts Book 2: Children of Fallen Gods by Carissa Broadbent

The War of Lost Hearts Book 2

 No war can be fought with clean hands. Not even the ones waged for the right reasons. Not even the ones you win.

Tisaanah bargained away her own freedom to save those she left behind in slavery. Now, bound by her blood pact, she must fight the Orders’ war -- and Max is determined to protect her at all costs.

But when a betrayal tears apart Ara, Max and Tisaanah are pushed into an even bloodier conflict. Tisaanah must gamble with Reshaye’s power to claim an impossible victory. And Max, forced into leadership, must confront everything he hoped to forget: his past, and his own mysterious magic.

All the while, darker forces loom -- far darker, even, than the Orders’ secrets. 

As Tisaanah and Max are ensnared in a web of ancient magic and twisted secrets, one question remains: what are they willing to sacrifice for victory? For power? For love?

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Tisaanah must fulfill her blood pact and fight a war on behalf of the Orders. Even if it means fighting for someone who she rather not. But she has no choice. Especially when Zeryth does something that ties even Max’s hands together. They will fight but they will do it their way. Meanwhile, we get a new point of view and story at the same time. We meet Aefe. A Fey who learns humans are here in Fey lands and killing all those in their path. She teams up with other Houses in a wary alliance in search of answers. But what she finds is nothing like she expects. At first, reading Aefe’s story confused me on the purpose and the tie in. But man, when you learn just exactly HOW her story ties in? Insane. Such a crazy twist. Everything comes together so smoothly by the end of this story. And leaves us with a pretty insane cliffhanger. The stakes just get higher and higher as the story goes along. Just when you think one battle is won, another starts. And we learn some new horrifying truth. All I know is that I gotta pick up the next book asap to see how this story ends!
