Book Review: War of the Wilted by Amber Mitchell

War of the Wilted (Garden of Thorns, #2) by Amber Mitchell

Blurb:

Like flowers denied water, people are wilting under the emperor's tyranny.
Rose will not rest until the Gardener is dead. But there are bigger battles to fight, and Rayce—leader of the rebellion and the only man Rose has ever loved—believes their best chance at winning the war is to join forces with her sworn enemy.

Saving innocent people is more important than her quest for revenge. But their new ally can’t be trusted—and he knows her darkest secret. One betrayal could leave the war and Rayce’s life hanging in the balance, and Rose will need to make the ultimate sacrifice to save them all.

My Review:

I was so glad that there is a sequel to Garden of Thorns. I loved that book so much, it was easily one of my favorite books last year. 

This follow up is filled to the brim with betrayal, sacrifices, and tough decisions. With Rayce holding the Gardner captive in the rebellion headquarters for intel, Rose tries to tell Rayce it's not a wise decision but their differences in opinion will drive a wedge between them and Rose will have to rise and become the queen she was always meant to be, the last thing she ever wanted. 

It's time for Rose to be strong, avenge her father, save her people. Empires will fall, the strong will survive, and the world will change forever. 

I loved this book, I couldn't stop reading when I started. Even though it has been a while since I read Garden of Thorns I was able to seamlessly read this book without missing a beat or needing to recap the events of book one. 

Overall, this series is a must read for fantasy fans.
