Synopsis: Inspired by the legend of Tristan and Iseult, Wild Savage Stars is the spellbinding sequel to Sweet Black Waves.

Branwen has a secret powerful enough to destroy two kingdoms.

Her ancient magic led to a terrible betrayal by both her best friend, the princess Essy, and her first love, Tristan. Now this same magic is changing Branwen. Adrift in a rival court, Branwen must hide the truth from the enemy king by protecting the lovers who broke her heart―and finds herself considering a darker path.

Not everyone wants the alliance with Branwen’s kingdom to succeed―peace is balanced on a knife’s edge, and her only chance may be to embrace the darkness within…

Review: Holy cow this book is so good! I loved seeing the continued tale of Tristan, Essy, and Branwen. I loved seeing their characters become more developed and seeing how new characters further their journey. I also loved to see the original tale more developed and I thought the author did well to convey the message of the original tale through Branwen.

However, the book is still very slow paced.

Verdict: Loved this book so much!
