Welcome back everyone, today’s review is the second last book in the series. We’ve moved on from the filler book and it’s now full of action and everything I love about this series!
We pick up the start of this book right where we ended the last book, Chants to Persephone with everyone heading into the Eaters of the Dead territory. One of the best things about this book is that it’s full of suspense, action and surprises.
The prophecies Alexander and Ashely heard in the previous book start to make sense, bit by bit.
I found myself held in suspense for the majority of the book wondering what would happen. So many questions were raised and answered one at a time in this book. Yet, if I tell you any of them, I’ll probably ruin the story for you.
Although I loved the story and the action and how it all played out. There were a few small details that were a little bit off to me. One of them was how many pregnancies Ashely had had. In the first 4 books she’d been pregnant 5 times (possibly a 6th, not 100% sure without going back through them) yet in this book they said 4 times.
It might have been a mistake. They do happen. But it did throw me for a minute, and I had to go back through my memory and count all her pregnancies.
The other thing that started to bother me in this book was Ashely getting prophetic dreams. She hasn’t had them in any of the previous books (except maybe a brief introduction to them in the previous book) and I don’t feel like this is something that someone would develop all of a sudden.
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed this review, next week I will be picking the Tamora Pierce series again. So stay tuned!

It is annoying when certain aspects in a book seem to come out of nowhere.
That it is! Sometimes it works but sometimes not
Really loved your take.
Thank you. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the series if you like the sound of it 🙂
That’s weird that someone went through that many pregnancies! And that it was back and forth about it. Glad you ended up enjoying the book though!
Remember back in those times pregnancies were really common. With no birth control and lots of sex it was bound to happen. Also, Ashley went back in time in her early 20s so prime age to be able to get pregnant a lot!
