          Synopsis

Retra—now called Naif—has escaped from Ixion, the island of ever-night. She doesn’t know if her friends on the island survived the battle between the Ripers and the rebels. But she does know that she must return home, behind the sealed walls of Grave, to find out why the Ripers have been seen there talking to the councillors. What links the two worlds?

First she must convince Ruzalia to help her. The fierce pirate captain saves those who face terrible fates on Ixion, but that doesn’t guarantee their gratitude. Instead, Ruzalia is confronted by a revolt—and Naif is caught in the middle.

Naif will need all her courage to survive. For Lenoir, who wants to keep her safe, for her friends Suki and Rollo, if they live, for Markes, who has secrets of his own, and for the new friends she will make on this journey.

The fate of worlds depend on it.

My Thoughts (review)

Like the first one these wasn’t anything that interesting about the book, not that it can be put into points or labelled. But in hole it holds your attention and has you needing more.

I have though finally figured out why I’m hard up on the trilogy. It’s Naif (aka Retra). I’m finding that she’s not a solid character. Her moods and personality changes too much depending on who’s around her, and it’s not that she’s sky or not certain. Her hole demeanour seems to change dramatically threw the story. I found in this book that the story [character wise] ran stronger on the beta characters than it did to her, the main character.

So this one is all about her figuring out what is really happening at Ixion and what the Grave Elders had to do with it. This was long in coming being mostly that you get the answer right at the end and though it was interesting and made you need the next book in your hands right now! It wasn’t the most exciting part in the book the long trek there was something else.

I found that it was interesting, quick and kept you hooded even when you weren’t sure why.
