Review

"The Heart of Betrayal" is the second book in Mary E. Pearson's "Remnant Chronicles." A YA book that focuses on a female heroine, Lia, who has been kidnapped by her enemies and is learning to use her secret powers, all while trying to stay alive and figuring out how she feels towards her betrothed (who has been kidnapped alongside her). I found this book better than the first in the series, but you definitely have to read the previous one to understand what is happening. This book reminded me a lot of Tamora Pierce's "Woman who rides like a man" with Lia winning over the people who have captured her and learning that she may be part of a prophecy. Worth buying for YA fantasy/romance.

Overall Book Score: very good
