Denise's Reviews > With Dagger and Song

The second book of The Curse of the Cyren Queen begins with Roh and her companions leaving Saddoriel, the only place Roh has ever known, and venturing to Akoris to begin her quest for the gems to accompany the crown she won in A Lair of Bones.

On their journey to Akoris, the group encounter different situations that they must endure before joining the fanatics that await them in the cyren territory. Upon learning the lay of the land and the differences between Akoris and Saddoriel, Roh and the others do their best to fit into the routine while awaiting the challenge that awaits Roh in the hopes of obtaining the first birthstone of Saddoriel.

Helen adds some additional twists and turns throughout the story that keep the reader hooked in the story and in the future of the Cyren race. The world building continues as we learn about the fanatical territory and the character development is just so perfect. This particular story ends perfectly set up for the next part of Roh’s story and the story for her companions. I personally cannot wait til we get to see what awaits us in the next installment!
