Illusionary (Hollow Crown #2)

By Zoraida Córdova

As soon as I finished Incendiary, I began searching for the sequel in all of the local stores. It was absolutely nowhere to be found so I ended up buying it on the Kindle to read on my phone. It was one of my travel books on vacation to Disney and I absolutely devoured it before we even left on the road. Therefore, I ended up having to search quickly for another! Just the normal bookish problems.

This was the perfect companion and ending of the story in book one. There were absolutely no loose ends and honestly at the end, I just wanted more. It was a very fleshed out book and there was a point where I felt like there was absolutely no way everything could be wrapped up in 20 pages. All of the favorites are in this book or at least mentioned, with new characters who just add even more to the book.

The story picks up with Ren and Castian having just escaped the Whispers pretending to be husband and wife while on the hunt for the Knife of Memory. The one thing that could kill the king, Castian’s father, and unite the kingdom as a whole. Between following a fable that is the whereabouts of the Knife of Memory and trying to avoid the overwhelming feelings arising between them, they become friends and confidants. The threats they encounter not only lie with the Whispers, Weapon, and the king's guards. The Gray, the stronghold of Ren’s own creation in her mind where all of her childhood memories and others stolen memories reside, is beginning to crumble. Making her not sure of what is real and what is a flashback from her previous life.
