Untamed

Ugh! Cliffhanger!!! Okay to save myself from the annoyance of not remembering by the time the next one comes out, I'm going to summarize and then review: Jaren and Vera get to the Magyki island and meet their parents. Jaren's Dad's lied to him about Vera being dead because Vera's mom asked them to protect her and in order to protect him, they lied. Vera meets her dad, the king, but he's an ass and his fighter lady is an even bigger bitch. Vera meets Reniya who is now her protector. She keeps having visions about the original theft of the magic crystal and all the past queens died in this vision. The Aleron kingdom is about to get crazy because Elric and Trey (the weaponsmaster who raised Vera and her soldier friend) are planning a coup to put someone else on the throne. Prince Eithan has lost his marbles and is obsessed with having Vera as his wife. We left off with Vera being stuck in a vision seeing a naked dude cutting his hand on a broken crystal and Jaren is screaming down the hall. Eithan is fucking a girl that looks like Vera and Elric has intercepted Eithan's letter to Vera. Now to the review. Vera is not the best fantasy heroine. I think I fucked up reading the Throne of Glass series in between the first and second book of this series. The spice scenes are primo. Jaren is too possessive, to the point of annoyance. I liked this book, but I'm not as much of a fan as I was after the first one. I feel like it was unfinished. Not enough happened.
