The Heart of Betrayal by Mary E. Pearson

(No spoilers here). This is book #2 in The Remnant Chronicles and the continuation of Lia's story, which began in The Kiss of Deception (Book #1). I was eagerly anticipating this sequel and for the most part, it did not disappoint. There were a few places in the story where I would begin to zone out and then BAM! another plot twist. It was very well done. Since I am not a frequent fan of the fantasy genre, the ancient texts and the meaning behind all of it was a little much. Yet, for fans of the genre, I think it is expected and not heavy. This book is definitely a must-read for fans of the first book; I highly recommend the series to fantasy fans, particularly those who enjoy royalty in a medieval type of fantasy world, or readers who like The False Prince series. Readers who do not typically enjoy fantasy novels may also really like this series. Simply put: It's too good not to like.
