Hi Cara,
I enjoyed the first book in the trilogy, Blood Heir. Red Tigress came out yesterday in the UK.
Ana Mikhailov is the only surviving member of the royal family of Cyrilia.
She has no army, no title, and no allies, and now she must find a way to take back the throne or risk the brutal retribution of the empress. Morganya is determined to establish a new world order on the spilled blood of non-Affinites. Ana is certain that Morganya won’t stop until she kills them all.
Ana’s only chance at navigating the dangerous world of her homeland means partnering with Ramson Quicktongue again. But the cunning crime lord has schemes of his own. For Ana to find an army, they must cross the Whitewaves to the impenetrable stone forts of Bregon. Only, no one can be certain what they will find there.
A dark power has risen. Will revolution bring peace–or will it only paint the streets in more blood.
(Synopsis from Goodreads.com)
Red Tigress continues Ana Journey to reclaim her throne, country and confidence.
Ana has a lot of character growth in Red Tigress. She becomes more of a leader. As she accepts what it will take for her to save her people. It is great to see that her moral compass is not effective.
The change of location added a lot of drama and mystery. It also allows the reader to see some of the characters in a different light.
The plot is darker than Blood Heir, a little bit more dangerous with a great mystery that comes out of the left field. I love the moments of action, romance and honour that is also sprinkled throughout the book.
Also, who can complain about having more Ramson Quicktongue in their life.
My Rating for Red Tigress is 4.5 out of 5.
