3.75 stars - been a while since I read the first book and seemed to follow this one better.

This had me hooked from the beginning, although I didn't realize that it's the second in the series, I have to get the first one now.

I didn't like the romance between Cobalt and Mel--a little bit too Beauty and the Beast for me but overall I enjoyed it a lot more than the first in the series.

The Dawnfield family returns in this second book of magic and political conflict in the fictional land of Aronsdale. Chime and Muller's daughter Melody (Mel) has grown into a beautiful, headstrong young woman. To prevent an army from the neighboring Misted Cliffs from invading her homeland, she agrees to wed Cobalt Escar, son of Varquelle, ruler of the Misted Cliffs. Despite the cruelty and darkness in the Escar family, Mel is able to find a seed of good in Cobalt and begins to nurture it. Varquelle and Cobalt, however, are not satisfied in their desire for conquest. I recommend this book to fans of romantic fantasy. However, many of the characters are quite two-dimensional and predictable.

I've read this one a few times, not as good as the first but it's still cute.

This was a great second book in the series (Although it could be read as a stand alone)! It kind of reminded me of the Arabian Nights at first. I can't wait to read the third!
