"Sometimes, one must accomplish the impossible"

We are no longer in Oz anymore, Toto. Or to put it plainly, Cecile is kicked out of Trollus.. Given the big ol boot, and by none other than her beloved Tristan himself. Back up above ground Cecile has survived thanks to the help of her also witchy grandmother, and is falling back into her old footsteps on her way to become a famous singer in Trianon.

We are no longer in Oz anymore, Toto. Or to put it plainly, Cecile is kicked out of Trollus.. Given the big ol boot, and by none other than her beloved Tristan himself. Back up above ground Cecile has survived thanks to the help of her also witchy grandmother, and is falling back into her old footsteps on her way to become a famous singer in Trianon.

I was worried that this book would frustrate me. Dealing with the separation of Tristan and Cecile, I thought that it would be just a constant battle of the two of them trying to get back to each other. And although that's what I desperately wanted, that would have made for a very dull story. But Danielle Jensen did not let us down. This was just as good, if not better than Stolen Songbird. We are whisked away with Cecile on her mission to find the notorious witch, Anushka. To kill her once and for all and free the Trolls from under the mountain. But below ground, Tristan is fighting for his life. Imprisoned by his tyrant of a father, and fighting for the friends he lost in his desperate attempt to save Cecile, he is quickly falling into a dark place. One that only his most loyal of friends and followers could possibly help him to overcome. They need the crowned prince that he once was to overthrow the King and make life good for the half bloods.

There is so much to this book that its hard to summarize and explain just how INTO this world I fell. I loved that in this book, we really got to know Tristan. He went from an arrogant prince, to this beautiful character who would do anything for those he loved, and who fought for the right thing so fiercely. His character growth was admirable. I found myself feeling so much for him and wanting to just pluck him out and give him a hug and to tell him it will all be alright. But this growth is really what made him such a strong key player in this battle of good and evil.

I also really enjoyed Cecile's quest for the witch Anushka. Getting to see her in action, and finding out just how much she was magically capable of was such a neat adventure. I loved her relationships with Chris and Sabine, their friendships were honestly the only reason Cecile even managed half of the stunts she succeeded in pulling off! And through it all we really got to see Cecile rise to become the "Queen" she might one day become should Tristan succeed in taking the throne from his father.

Through it all Danielle Jensen beautifully creates these places and characters and weaves it into this amazing story that caught me on the first word and pulled me in. I can't tell you enough how much I have enjoyed reading these and I cannot wait to see how it ends in the next book.

Do yourself a favor and read these NOW!!!

Happy Reading :) ...more

I had high hopes for Hidden Huntress because I loved Stolen Songbird so much. I'm happy to report that the book did not disappoint. All the action, drama, humor, wit, and romance that endeared the first book to me were very much present in the sequel. I love Danielle Jensen's prose because it comes off as elegant yet accessible (I hope that makes sense). I am so invested in the main characters, Cècile and Tristan because they're so intelligent. The romance is compelling without coming across as ...more

Well well done Danielle Jensin! This sequel is everything I wanted and more. After Cecile's departure from Trollus she spends her time with her mother singing on stage. Her mother is vain and evil, basically the stepmother from Cinderella. Cecile is on a mission to find the witch who put the curse on the trolls. She does so with the help of her two friends, Sabine who is her childhood friend that joins her in Tranion (or whatever the town's name is) and Chris the stable boy who has known about t ...more

Loved it!! It was so fun to read and had me on the edge of my seat for the whole read. I bought it and finished it the same day, I really couldn't put it down. I had even guessed right on who the true villain was which was so cool. I hope the next one comes out soon. ...more
