I loved this so much more than book 1!! Going to start book 3 almost immediately lol. Here are my live reactions:
oh snap the revenge is starting!!
who is the hanjian?
oh look, Aenah can be useful
Kance is engaged?? this won't end well
poor Fox too, is he pining for Inessa
oooh forbidden knowledge
Khalad is still on her side *cries*
okay so Tea knows the Daanorian princess
oh Tea and Kalen almost had a moment XD
Tea's family came to see her?? *cries*
OMG FAKE DATING
WHAT HAPPENED TO KANCE
I need to know how Tea and Fox ended up on opposite sides!!
yay jailbreak!
Polaire knows one of the forbidden runes??
oh no oh no why did you compel Kalen
wait Inessa and Fox were serious-serious?
why did Inessa pale at the mention of Fox's heartglass??
did they give each other heartglasses?? but still wear their own, for secrecy??
who did Tea kill?? Inessa? Polaire? Althy??
Empress to the rescue XD
okay so I need to know when Kalen fell for her
also, idk if it's just my edition, but some of the dialogue is not attributed correctly?
yay I love healing❤️

Omg poor Inessa, she has more suitors than she needs
I am here for Khalad/Likh, so sweet!
OMG THEY KISSED

Although I’ve read “The Bone Witch” three times now…this is only the second time I’ve read through “The Heart Forger” and I forgot how emotional it would make me. This book picks up immediately after the first book ends as we continue to see the current time through the eyes of “the bard” and see past events through Tea’s eyes.
We were told and taught, many things in book one that book two reveal to be false. I absolutely love the back and forth between times, there are so many important things happening in both timelines and you’re left desperately wanting to know everything going on in both. The pace of book two is definitely faster than book one, as book one taught us much of the backstory to the world and people.
Without giving anything away, in case you haven’t read through “The Bone Witch” just know that “The Heart Forger” made me cry…just as much and as hard as I did when I first read it almost two years ago. The world that Rin has created for us can be so beautiful and so cruel at the same time…and I love every second I spend in it.

Rin Chupeco is a master storyteller...
The Heart Forger picks up where The Bone Witch ends and leads us on more of Tea's current, and past, path. There are so many thing's that we thought to be true in "The Bone Witch" that we find aren't what they appeared to be. This book is full of more beauty and ugliness set in this masterful world Rin has created for us. These first two books have put me through so many intense emotions that I know that I'm not yet ready to face the final book.
Although this is only the 2nd book of Rin's I've ever read...I can honestly say she's one of my favorite author's and I can't wait to meet the other world's she created in her other books.
