The official synopsis is as follows:
The walls of Ninurta keep its citizens safe.
Kai always believed the only danger to the city came from within. Now, with a rebel force threatening the fragile government, the walls have become more of a prison than ever.
To make matters worse, as Avan explores his new identity as an Infinite, Kai struggles to remind him what it means to be human. And she fears her brother, Reev, is involved with the rebels. With the two people she cares about most on opposite sides of a brewing war, Kai will do whatever it takes to bring peace. But she’s lost her power to manipulate the threads of time, and she learns that a civil war might be the beginning of something far worse that will crumble not only Ninurta’s walls but also the entire city.
In this thrilling sequel to Gates of Thread and Stone, Kai must decide how much of her humanity she’s willing to lose to protect the only family she’s ever known.
In the first book, Kai is really reluctant to use her magical powers, manipulating the threads of time. As the daughter of the Infinite Kronos, Kai should be bounding along in the River of Time, doing what her father does best, so that he can retire and she can become a new Infinite. But Kai doesn't want this. She has her brother, Reev, and Avan, the boy she fell in love with that became an Infinite to protect her. Not to mention all of her other friends - like absolutely perfect Mason (my opinion, but that should be everyone's opinion) - that she would be leaving behind.
With the first book, I had to take some time to think about whether I liked it or not. This book was easy: I liked it. A lot. Kai gets out of Ninurta again and into Lanathrill, a city that no one really knew existed since the former kahl had kept them all cut off from the rest of the world. Reev is a wonderful brother, even if Kai doesn't see that all the time. Avan is...I'm not sure about him yet. He worries me. But MASON! Let me tell you about Mason. Mason is perfect and lovely and perfect. If the last book in this series is just following Mason around in his daily schedule, I'd read the junk out of it. Lori M. Lee also does a fantastic job at keeping you preoccupied with friendly neighbors that you don't really see the backstabbing coming. I spent a fair share of this book clenching my teeth together because the horrible people are really...well, horrible. I wanted to push them all off a cliff.
Lucky for you guys, this book comes out tomorrow, so no waiting, and the Kindle price is only $3.99. Also, Gates of Thread and Stone is only $2.00 on Kindle, so pick up the pair!
