The Stolen Throne is book two of the Dominions series by Abigail Owen and like book one, this one ends on a bit of a cliff so be prepared if you pick this one up. With that said, I'm glad I got to dive back into this world and see where things went for the characters.

Book two picks up right where book one left off. Meren is trapped in Eidolon's clutches after having gotten Reven and Tabra out. The only good thing is that despite him trying, Eidolon can't really control Meren as he did Tabra. There's more on just why that is in the book but it's a pretty big plot point so I'm not going to give it away. Quickly into the first chapters though, Reven and Cain decide they are going to go get Meren out and from there, we get deeper into what Eidolon is really trying to do and the history of the Goddesses.

I thought Owens did a great job of continuing this story. Sometimes a second book can feel like filler but this was not the case at all. As I mentioned, there is a lot going on in this one. From trying to save Tabra, learning more about the amulets and Goddesses, and of course (one of my favorite pieces) building out more of Reven and Meren's relationship. There is plenty of conflict and action to go along with the story and as I mentioned, there is a bit of a cliffhanger at the end.

Overall, I enjoyed this second book of the series and will definitely be picking up the next one to see what happens with these characters. If you're looking for a YA series to pick up, definitely consider this one.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the copy in exchange for an honest review.
