The Secret Language of Stones is the second book in the Daughters of La Lune series, but you can read it on its own without feeling like you don’t understand the book. I haven’t read the first book in the series, and I only felt like I could have used a little more background on the family magic a few times. It didn’t hurt that I hadn’t read it, but it would add some nice extra information to the way their magic works.

It flew by as I was reading it. I liked the ideas behind it, but this novel had so many subplots going on – Opaline’s powers, Jean Luc’s writing, dealing with the Orloff family problems, the romance, Russian politics, etc. I think you get the picture.With so much going on, there really wasn’t enough time to really settle in and figure out what the main plotline was until the end.
