4 STARS

Well, that was certainly interesting! My feelings are all conflicted and discombobulated. On one hand I absolutely adored this book, but on the other, I had quite a few problems with it that just wouldn't settle. My love for these characters and this series runs deep from the first book, but this book lacked a lot of what I fell in love with from the beginning. But nevertheless, I still loved HIDDEN HUNTRESS for it's own reasons, and so excited to continue this series and finally see how it all ends.

THE POSITIVE:

The magic! I've always enjoyed the fierce magic of this world. The Troll magic is my favorite, it's raw and fierce, and a force not to be reckoned with. And I loved watching that magic be used and all the fun little things that could be done with it. I also liked the witches magic too, but that wasn't as strong or desirable as the trolls magic was. The witches magic was used through the earth, spells, and worst of all, blood magic. And that magic can get to be very dark, and it was almost as fun as the Trolls magic, almost.

I still love my two favorite characters Cécile and Tristan, even if the romance lacked, which I will get into below. They were both broken and desperate, and riding the line of extreme. And that was a new side of both Cécile and Tristan, but also an interesting side of their characters vulnerability. Watching them endure and fight through each obstacles as it was thrown at them, just reminded me of why I loved them both so much from the very beginning.

THE NEGATIVE:

The romance! That was a HUGE let down for me in this highly anticipated sequel. I was expecting full blown chemistry and affection and a deep adoration between our main characters Cécile and Tristan. But they were separated for most of the book, and when they were finally reunited, it was like they were strangers.

Let me explain...

In the first book I absolutely loved Cécile and Tristan. I adored them both together and apart for their own different reasons. From the start they had bad blood between them for what the king was forcing upon them. But they found that they weren't really that different, and that they were stronger as allies then enemies. And then their pull became too strong and they ultimately became lovers. The bond that united them allowed them to be in-tune with each others desires and needs, so they were connected in away that not too many others were, unless you where bonded. But it was also more then that, they had a chemistry and love so sweet, that it literally broke my heart. But in this book their was none of that, and when they finally did reunite, they had hardly any emotions or sexual interactions. They were distant, and had this gap between them that couldn't be filled no matter what they did. Tristan went through his own struggles with his time in captivity, and his betrayal to his people, so he was hurting, I understand that. But I hoped when he and Cécile finally got back together, it would be different and they would become like they were. But nope that was not the case and it was a heartbreaking let down!!

Another issue was the way Cécile let her mother treat her. She let her mother walk all over her like she was a dog. Her mother was nonexistent for most of her life, yet Cécile runs off to join her mother at the opera house when she returns from her life threatening experience in Trollus. And her mother treats her like dirt, and most of the time Cécile does nothing about it. Their was that rare moment when Cécile grows some balls and tries to put her mother in her place, but even then, she doesn't try very hard. It was just the opposite of the Cécile I've grown to love in STOLEN SONGBIRD!

Another issue was the predictability of HIDDEN HUNTRESS. I seen most of the twist coming miles away! I knew from one of the first chapters who Anushka was. Something happens in the beginning that Cécile doesn't remember that gave Anushka's true identity away. And that was not fun at all knowing the big twist as soon as the books starts. I wanted it to be a big surprise and have my opinion waver throughout the book. But it didn't, and I also figured out other twists too. But nevertheless, even with all these negative things, I still able to REALLY enjoyed this book, a lot!

THE PLOT

CÉCILE:

Cécile has had her world ripped apart so many times, but this time the fate of both Trollus and the human world depend on what she does. She is destine to break a 500 year old curse, but is it really the right thing to do, and is she willing to subject both humans and trolls to the evil that's bound to be unleashed if the trolls are ever freed?

Cécile now lives in Trianon with her overly stern mother. Singing in the opera has always been a dream for Cécile, but now it's nothing more then an interference with her goal. A goal that is now an obligation, a compelling thought in the back of her mind, forcing her to find Anushka no matter the circumstance. But Cécile will have more surprises and struggles then she's ever anticipated, and the path to finding the witch may just bring her back to where and why it all started, and ultimately, change her in ways she never thought possible...

TRISTAN:

Deep below the rock mountain, the Trolls remain cursed to their eternal resting place, where they're destined to stay until the ancient curse can finally be broken.

The prophecy has been foretold...

"Bring forth and bind the Prince of Night and Daughter of Day, and together the witch they will slay...

Then and only then, will the curse be broken, forever...

But after 500 years there is still no sign of Anushka, the witch who cursed them to their eternal doom. But the time has come for her to finally come out of hiding, because Anushka has just met her match, Cécile...

Tristan is still living with the repercussions of defying his father, the king of all Trollus, for saving his wife Cécile from dying at the hands of his wickedly insane brother. He has lived with iron shackles for two months in a prison cell binded by magic. He has been striped bare and endured much for his deceit. So when his father releases him from his imprisoned hell, picking himself up after betraying the people he was suppose to be protecting, and killing so many who entrusted their lives in his hands, is no easy feat. Because he is now the despicable fallen prince of all of Trollus...

No longer heir to the Trollus throne, Tristan has reluctantly been let out of his cage, only to have a different kinda of hell thrust upon him. No one trust him, everyone hates him, his friends have been punished for their loyalty and assistance to him, his best friend was murdered, only to find that she wasn't actually murdered like he thought. His mother is going insane, his brother is now the new heir, and will bring is wrath down upon all he chooses when he wears the crown. And his wife and love of his life, is a world away going through her own kinda pain, and their is nothing he can do about any of it. But Tristan has not come this far and inflicted and endured all this pain for nothing. He will keep fighting, he will find a way to save his people, his wife, and hopefully humanity before all is lost to them all....

Overall, even with all my ups and downs, I still highly enjoyed this book, a lot. At times I found myself fully immersed and addicted, but other times I found myself rolling my eye and saying okay, enough of that lets move on to something else already. But my overall feeling when I closed this book was where is book three, I NEED it in my life NOW! So though the beginning and some of the middle were a little rough, the ending was amazing and fully sucked my into it's addicting story. So I was left feeling satisfied and overly confident that book three will give book one a run for it's money, and I can't WAIT!!

Hidden Huntress Malediction Trilogy Book Two Danielle L Jensen Books Reviews

~~~~~~4.5 Stars~~~~~~

"Sometimes one must do the unthinkable, for it is the only way to accomplish the impossible."

Immediately after finishing the first book I found myself NEEDING this second book like a newly minted addict. In fact, I put aside my mountainous TBR books that need to be reviewed just to get my fix. On the one hand I was richly rewarded with beautiful writing, amazing world development and exceptional character depth. On the other hand the story just didn't grab me and hold me entranced, desperately needing to know more. This may have been due in part to the fact that I was on vacation (making it painfully impossible to find reading time) as well as being able to easily foresee almost every major plot twist immediately. This lead me to spend the entire time yelling at my eBook for the MCs to open their eyes and put some/any clues together. Don't get me wrong. I in no way feel the need to demand my time returned. In fact, I adamantly reaffirm my devotion to the trilogy. lf you are looking to immerse yourself in a beautifully written, character driven fantasy that puts forth alternative views on Fey (most notably Trolls thus far), you absolutely will not be disappointed. The Hidden Huntress continues to lay a very satisfying and solid foundation for what I can only expect to be a fabulous ending to a thoroughly enjoyable trilogy. In other words....READ IT!
With all its minor irritations, I still really enjoyed the first book. The second is worth a read, but nowhere near as interesting. The main problem lies in the fact that it was made obvious to the reader early on in the first book who the "person of mystery" is, and yet, throughout the entire second book, our characters still can't figure it out. The whole book they spend wringing their hands, talking out the story incessantly, and it got so irritating that I started skipping forward whenever a character starting "thinking". Not just about the identity of the witch, but also of Anais, which is also painfully clear from the start but takes our Tristan a dumb while to figure out, and other minor things such as how the spell works. It really should not be made that obvious to the reader if the characters are going to remain stupid for hundreds of pages. It makes for no intrigue and just has you losing your patience with these characters. The touches of romance are missing in the second book, so you'll be disappointed if you enjoyed that aspect of the first. This book is much more grim, immature, and anxiety-ridden- the entire time. No one ever has a clear-headed moment. It all makes for a much less pleasurable read. I'll still read the third when it comes out because I am still interested in the story of the characters and their outcomes, but my hopes aren't too high for it like they were at the end of the first book. It could have gotten better from the first and been an amazing trilogy, but it went the other way. And while I'm at it, why does every heroine, witch, or woman of power in every fantasy novel have to have red hair? Can we get over that already? These books are rife with cliches and a lack of originality, but had the potential to be really well done. I'm disappointed in this book.
