Ignite

Sara B. Larson's Ignite is the second book of her Defy series.

Alexa remains by the newly crowned King Damian's side as his guard, ever committed to helping him rebuild Antion and reclaim the hope of Antion's people, despite continuing to harbor secret love for him.  However, when another threat to Damian and his kingdom emerges, and blame is cast on their newly forged allies from Blevon, Alexa knows things are not what they seem.  With the fate of her nation hanging in the balance once again, will Alexa be able to protect her king and uncover the true enemy-- before it's too late?

The Breakdown:
1. This was a quick, action packed read for me.  Larson keeps me on my toes through out the book trying to guess who is doing the plotting and what the end game is. There are so many secrets in this book that I am loved seeing them revealed, and dying to know more about the ones that are out there still.

2. I find Alexa a fascinating character.  She spent the majority of her life hiding who she really is, and it is easy to see that now that everyone knows her secret that she struggles with how to deal with it, and her feelings for Damian.

3.  The downside to the book being such a quick read is that it left me wanting so much more.  I have some many questions at the end of the book.  Why does Armando what the war between Antion and Blevon?  What is Blevon secret to not having Dark Magic sorcerers?  And most importantly, why does Armando what Alexa so bad? I cannot wait for the next book.
