This book is the second book in the Droseran Saga , and I definitely recommend reading the books in order. This book examines the family dynamic between the brothers. It takes twists and turns that keep the reader’s interest.

My one complaint about this book is that it ended. I want to read the next book in the series. The author does an excellent job building words and creating characters with depth. So if you like Christian fantasy novels check out this book for yourself.

I received a complimentary copy of this book, but this in no way influenced my review. All opinions are my own. ( )

Y’all… I’ve been dreading the day I would have to write this review.

I mean, how do you review a Ronie Kendig book? Because they are an experience. I have never read anything quite like what Kendig writes and I am a fan!

I wrote this in my review for the first book in the Droseran saga. I do not read Space Opera books but I picked this one up only because it was written by Ronie Kendig. And I am so glad I did!

Be WARNED though, you must read the first book before you pick up the second. So if you haven’t, skip to the next session so there won’t be spoilers 😉

At the end of Brand of Light, Kendig left us confused and heartbroken with a CLIFF-HANGER!! No need to say it has been an anxious year waiting for the second one XD

I had no idea what she would be up to with this second. Tigo in jail. Marcos harboring a broken heart and trying to figure out his new role. Kersei also dealing with so much. Danger is still very present. And Darius. Enough said.

Then we are introduced to new characters in book 2 and I was unsure if I would like them hehe but I did of course. Though that tension only Kendig can produce does not end! Beware 😉

I am really looking forward to the third book and hoping it focuses more on one of my favorite characters ❤ ( )

Let’s see what direction I will take on this review. Will I sing praises for the unbelievable creativity the author had? Can I describe how much I love this series and do it justice? How will I ever be able to express just how big a fan I am of a story that keeps me guessing? The easy answer to all these questions may surprise you. I can’t do any of these things without insisting you buy a copy. You need to experience every adventure, every emotional roller coaster and every character that brings something of significance to the story.

I adore Marco and his courage to go out and seek answers he needs, to push himself forward. My dear Marco I was beside you every step of the way. The story is definitely full of action, and emotions that even I became overwhelmed with. The author writes a wonderful story that for me showed the will power you can have if you want to achieve something. There is so much to tell but then why would I ruin the story for you. I will mention there were a few characters I didn’t like but for the story they were perfectly written. After all, not everyone is always happy when others overcome obstacles. The only problem I have with the story is that I have to wait for the next in the series to come out. Note to author. Please hurry with the next book.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion. ( )

"Sometimes, we do not get what we want, and when something good and true does come along, we are blind to that ... treasure."

Ronie Kendig somehow brings it up a notch with every book that she writes. After finishing her Book of the Wars series, I didn't think she could stun me speechless again. After reading Brand of Light, the first book in this Droseran Saga, I didn't know what will happen next. I am indeed stunned speechless and absolutely floored by how the author has brought about another intricately layered and all-encompassing second book with more depth, more characters, and more emotion to this already incredible series (but I will try to form my words so that my review is coherent).

In this space opera fantasy, the planet of Drosero feels so real and the kingdom of Kalonica so tangible. Marco is adrift, extremely vulnerable, and emotional in this book - so different from how he was in the first book and more endearing as he shows this other side of himself. His pride gets whittled down but he also matures significantly. Kersei has a lesser role in this book while Ixion, an elder of Kalonica, has a bigger role. Introduction of new characters like Isaura and Eija is delightful and seeing old characters like Jez and Tigo is equally wonderful. The series needs to be read in order since subplots and details within the overarching theme of finding justice against evil are laid down one at a time and build upon each other. The book is a delectable combination of conspiracy, betrayal, intense action, military strategy, honor, loyalty, heady romance, and great wisdom that will bring thrilling anticipation to every reader.

This book has been on my most anticipated books of 2020 list and is now one of my top 20 reads for the year. If you're looking for a can't-put-down book of honor, duty, loss, grace, and redemption, look no further. It's a must-read book.
