Second Spear is the fantastic sequel to The Border Keeper. In this latest installment, an enemy returns to challenge Tyn and her chosen family. As Tyn grapples with the revelations about herself that were unveiled in The Border Keeper, she must decide what family means and whether she still holds the same convictions. Tyn must choose what she will fight for and who she wants to be. 

I devoured Second Spear; I couldn’t put it down! Kerstin Hall beautifully draws readers into a world where vengeful gods and goddesses exist and political tensions are sky high. I loved learning more about Tyn and getting to see her point of view. She is a fiercely loyal and devoted character with strong convictions, which are tested throughout her journey. The world-building is extensive for a relatively short book. The magic and secrets of Mkalis are fascinating and I look forward to seeing what Kerstin Hall writes next! Readers who enjoy Seanan McGuire (Every Heart A Doorway) and Neil Gaiman (Neverwhere) should check out this series!

Thank you to Kerstin Hall, Macmillan-Tor/Forge, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
