Empire of Shadows by Miriam Forster Mini Review

Title: Empire of Shadows 

Series: Bhinian Empire #2

Author: Miriam Forster 

Date Published:November 4th 2014

Publisher: Harper Teen

Cast out of her family three years ago, Mara turned to the only place that would take her—a school where students train to protect others. But Mara is stunned when guarding a noble girl in the Empire’s capital turns out to be more dangerous than she could’ve imagined. More shocking still, she finds the boy she thought she had lost forever outside the gates of her new home.

Mara knew her life in the dizzying Imperial city would hold dangers. How could she have known that her heart, as well as her life, would be at stake?

Empire of Shadows will take readers on a spellbinding journey into the world Miriam Forster first introduced in City of a Thousand Dolls—a world with a divided society, deadly courtiers, heroic traitors, and deeply laid conspiracies.

This book certainly didn't suffer from second book syndrome, I actually liked reading this one more than the first one, although it's advertised as the second book in the series this is actually a prequel and it explains why many events happened in book 1. 

Miriam Forster made me fall in love with all the new characters she introduced and featured one of my favorites (Esmer!!!!). The plot was great, I always love when the nobility is involved because let's face it they make the best plans ever.

P:S. Reading this book got me out go a huge reading slump I was going through:)

Final Rating:
