Streets that were once busy are deserted, and the townspeople who are left live in crippling fear. Emily is escorted to the Academy where she&#8217;s expected to compete for a spot on the Guardian Council, the most powerful Stonekeepers. But as the number of competitors gets smaller and smaller, a terrible secret is slowly uncovered&#8211;a secret that, if left buried, means certain destruction of everything Emily fights for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>{My thoughts} \u2013 <\/strong> Emily and her crew are on a quest to find Cielis. They find a pilot and a way to get there and then when they find it, she gets a feeling that things are off. She expresses this to her mom who tells her to look on the bright side. She isn&#8217;t able to shake the feeling. Her friends aren&#8217;t allowed into the building. Two of her acquaintances end up in jail. The room they are told to stay in for the night gets locked. That&#8217;s only the beginning of the things that aren&#8217;t seemingly right. <\/p>\n<p>Emily is then told that she will be forced to compete in some games to see which of them is strong enough to take a seat on the council. There is a group of them and they are all dropped into a cave like structure and told to battle it our more or less. They all decide to work together to accomplish a goal and that&#8217;s when Emily figures out things are really really wrong.<\/p>\n<p>I really enjoyed this addition to the storyline and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series. I am truly invested in seeing where the author is going. I love how the images and words on each page stand out and make you want to stare at them for hours. It&#8217;s a well put together series and I am looking forward to starting the next book soon! <\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Conclusion:<\/strong> 5 Star Rating. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"114\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png 300w, https:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature.png 329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Synopsis} \u2013 Kazu Kibuishi&#8217;s thrilling, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling series continues!
