Violet\u2019s in love (but with which brother?), and part of the prophecy\u2014that prophecy she didn\u2019t believe in at first\u2014has been fulfilled. Now it\u2019s up to Violet to do what she must to ensure the rest comes true, on the side of Light. Not all choices are easy, and this one is a doozy.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this book is a lot less tense than the first volume of the Light Thrower series. It follows Violet\u2019s life after she makes her Big Decision, and only moments of Darkness are tossed in. Still, she is in hiding, and fearful of being found and stopped before she can see the prophecy through to the conclusion of her part in it. Given that, and the fact that the brothers and all the woo-woo (as she calls it) family mysteries are still in play, the story still kept me turning pages to see how it all came out. A new player, Amara Dawn, is introduced (no spoilers), bringing her own mystery and promise, and even though Violet is the main character, it\u2019s really Amara Dawn at the center of the tale.<\/p>\n<p>As in book 1, <em>When Violet Took Flight<\/em> has elements of romance, just not as much so. This one focused more on Violet making a new life, finding and learning to trust new friends, found family, and choices. I loved following along, seeing the way Violet\u2019s choices affected others in her life as well as herself. The mysteries are there, just as in book 1, but a bit more spread out. Again, mostly all the conflicts are resolved by the end of the book, but there are a few dangling threads that will be carried over to the promised third volume, which is due out soon. Stay tuned to the author\u2019s website to see when it comes out.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, this is a good, easy, escapist read that will keep you turning pages to find out what happens. Recommended.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By allison keli \u00a9 November 29, 2024, Meditating Squirrel Publishing File size: 23.2 MB 314 pages ASIN: B0DNWQB5CD This is the sequel to When Violet Got Bored and picks up sort of where that book left off.
