The High Priest's Daughter by Katie Cross

4.0

More like 4.5, I really do love my half stars. I went into this thinking it was the last book in the series. However, when there were only 20 pages left and it was clear there was no way to resolve all the plot points in that amount of time, I knew I had been mistaken. Although I am sad my insatiable desire for closure was not satisfied, I am looking forward to at least one more book in this series. Katie Cross really found her stride with this one. Her writing was consistently good. The characters matured in appropriate ways, including Bianca, which was nice to see. In the first book I kept forgetting they were 16 because their decisions made them seem so young (closer to 12), but they definitely acted like 17 year olds in this one. So far this is my favourite in the series. The plot seemed wholly original and it was filled with plenty of twists and turns. Some that I figured out, some that I didn't. I am naturally an impatient person, but especially when I am waiting for something I am excited about. Waiting for the next book is going to feel intolerable, but that's probably a good sign.
