Mortal Heart by Robin LaFevers
3.0

Fortunately, this book was more in line with the second book in the series than the first. I definitely enjoyed it. LaFevers extensive use of history is awesome, her mythological evolution of the "old gods" of Brittany is really cool and, once again, I liked both the main character and her love interest (rather than wanting to punch one or both of them--see my problems with book 1 in this series).
There were two plot twists and one was extremely obvious to the point that I was practically yelling at the main character (although the book does a perfectly good job of making it clear why the reader would see this one coming, but the characters wouldn't). The other one I missed completely, so well done book for catching me there.
A YA series worth reading, especially if you like seeing people do new things even within the historical European framework.
