I really enjoyed Spindle Fire but I feel that Lexi Hillyer dropped the ball with this sequel. The second half of the story feels rushed with Hillyer‘s characterizations and plot development falling flat. I think that a trilogy would have been better although I sometimes hate the fact that there are so many in YA lit.
Even if you‘ve read the first book, I would suggest passing this one by. There are far better fairy tale retellings out there.
