I'd read the first book in this series and liked it ... but hadn't continued on (not carried at my library at the time, not an issue anymore). Re-read the first book so that I could continue, but I didn't get it in back-to-back (a month+ in between). I wasn't remembering the first book that well, but this was a shift, in MC, in narrator (for audio - just noticed there are two different versions/narrators for the first book). 

Whereas Book 1 featured Ismae, Book 2 features Sybella. Her history was introduced in the first book (tiny/paragraph recap here), and we (the reader) and thrust right into the action from the first page. I went with audio again, but was able to snag the Kindle copy. There, there is a listing of "Dramatis Personae" as a review of characters and a map of the area. This is historical, battles between Brittany and France, but it feels fantasy. Touch of paranormal with the whole "daughters of death" thing, and the while some is training, there are some special abilities (Ismae is immune to poisons, Sybella can "hear heartbeats" and sense those around her). 

Each book is also a romance - a little "beauty and the beast" here (she literally calls him "Beast" and says he's not very good looking). I think it wasn't really until the romance started that I really realized this book was a different MC than the first (oops!) and figured that the next one would feature the third main girl introduced in the first book (I re-read my original review, and I had realized it then, that was just years ago and I hadn't remembered). 

So - I liked this. Honestly not really sure how much it will stick in my memory though. I AM moving on to the 3rd book as my next book.
