This sequel to Ever the Hunted finds Britta learning more about her newfound magical powers while navigating her now-uneasy relationship with the king. Although both the characters and the fantasy world they inhabit continue to be well drawn, this series installment suffers from a ponderous opening section as well as a lack of consistent drama and tension throughout.
