I had no problem picturing everything in my head, and felt like I was in the story. Redwine’s style is that her writing is cinematic. They couldn’t get a break! With the Carrington army breathing down their necks, the Cursed One lying in wait, a traitor in their midst, and a Rowensmark tracker stalking them, I was engrossed! And from there on, the story grabbed me and didn’t let go! The pacing was fast and action-packed, with danger at every turn. It jumped right into the action with the survivors setting out into the Wasteland. Goodness, where do I start? This book picked up right where the first left off, with Baalboden destroyed and the Commander escaped. If I had one word to describe this thrilling sequel to Defiance, it would be INTENSE. This review contains spoilers for Defiance if you haven’t read it.īig thanks to HarperTeen for providing a copy for review!
