~ MY REVIEW ~
**4 stars**
You're not going to want to miss book two in the epic fantasy series, MARDAN'S MARK! Mardan's Heir picks up where Mardan's Mark left off and continues this exciting journey. I was so excited to reunite with these characters, and really enjoyed reading this book!
Aldan and Srilani have returned from their harrowing adventure and now have to take on royalty, naysayers, and hidden enemies. Aldan must convince people of his true identity, and Sirlani struggles to get her family to believe where her heart's affections truly lie.
Kathrese Mckee did well with this sequel! We dive back into this fantasy world (superb world-building, by the way!), come to know the characters better, and get close to uncovering deadly secrets. Mardan's Heir ends with a cliffhanger, and I can hardly wait for Book Three to release in January!
The characters are such fun, and all their own. I love Aldan's brothers, Sam and Linus. They have unique personalities and just add so much life and depth to these books! Srilani's sisters are also great and I'm so glad they're a big part of the story. As for our two main characters, I like them, too! *winks* At times, I became frustrated with Srilani's attitude - but she also can be easy to relate to in various ways.
There were a couple scenes that seemed inappropriate and/or disrespectful toward authorities, father figures, or men in general. (There is some true and deep hurt that the main character deals with when it comes to her father.) But there were also moments of regret, apology, humility, and showing value to the other gender. I hope this series continues to delve into these difficult relationships and show healing, peace, and truth!
Overall, I recommend this book (and its companions). Mardan's Heir is exciting, adventurous, romantic, emotional, humorous, dangerous, and all the things! It's clean, has a faith theme, and really is a memorable find for fantasy lovers. Do check it out!
I received an ARC of Mardan's Heir from the author in exchange for my honest review.
