In The Midnight Lie it was obvious that Sid was very confident in herself, but I really liked seeing her more vulnerable side after her heartbreak. As much as I enjoyed the fan service of seeing Sid’s parents, I do wish that the two main characters of this series weren’t separated for 90% of the book.Ī lot of Sid’s storyline revolved around misunderstandings and miscommunication, which I usually can’t stand, but I really related to her and didn’t mind it quite as much as I usually would. It seemed to divide readers, but I am firmly on the side of loving that Kestrel and Arin are in this story! I will admit that I didn’t love Kestrel as a mother, but I am so glad I got to see more of how their story continued after The Winner’s Kiss ended. The Hollow Heart picks up with Sid arriving back in Herran and Nirrim leading a revolution in her own country. I have to say, the audio did not disappoint (how could it with Justine Eyre narrating?), although the story wasn’t quite what I was expecting. I’ve devoured every one of her books and each of them has made my favorites shelf, so I knew that The Hollow Heart would be no different! I could not wait to jump back into this world and see how Nirrim and Sid’s story ended. Marie Rutkoski has been one of my favorite authors since my early blogging days. This is a guest review from my favorite fellow blogger, Cornerfolds! To check out her blog: CLICK HERE Can Sid save Nirrim from herself? Does Nirrim even want to be saved? As blood is shed and war begins, Sid and Nirrim find that it might not matter what they want…for the gods have their own plans.
Sid doesn’t know that this queen is Nirrim, who seeks her revenge against a world that has wronged her. In the Herrani court, rumors begin to grow of a new threat rising across the sea, of magic unleashed on the world, and of a cruel, black-haired queen who can push false memories into your mind, so that you believe your dearest friends to be your enemies.
Meanwhile, the person Nirrim once loved most, Sid, has returned to her home country of Herran, where she must navigate the politics of being a rogue princess who has finally agreed to do her duty. The Half Kith who once lived imprisoned behind the city’s wall now realize that many among them are powerful.
**Do NOT continue reading if you haven’t read the first book in the series, The Midnight Lie**Īt the end of The Midnight Lie, Nirrim offered up her heart to the God of Thieves in order to restore her people’s memories of their city’s history.
