        Trust issues reign in the third cloak-and-dagger intrigue of the Falling Kingdoms series. Following Rebel Spring (2013), rebel leader Jonas is recovering from yet another failed mission against evil King Gaius, having lost most of his followers. He's nearly captured when a mysterious, amazing fighter emerges to rescue him and join Jonas' cause. Gaius' heir, Prince Magnus, meanwhile, wavers between his desire for Gaius' approval and the knowledge that his father's a liar who ordered the assassination of Magnus' mother. Princess Cleo decides to bond with her new sister-in-law, the sorceress Lucia, to get closer to the Kindred, magical crystals whose power Cleo hopes to use to retake her kingdom. In the process, she bafflingly starts to care about Lucia, though it's mostly through telling not showing. Meanwhile, two children of a powerful overseas emperor visit; they're after the Kindred like everyone else. Characters are frequently stabbed to death with daggers. Romantically, it's more of a messy love web than a triangle, giving fans of every couple chances to swoon and hiss. The viewpoint-jumping narration induces too much repetitive recap, slowing the already unevenly paced plot. In the final act, characters calling one another out as traitors start to identify the liars among them, as well as feeling the consequences of trusting and mistrusting the wrong people. Last-minute twists don't make up for slow pacing, but they give the next sequel potential. (Fantasy. 13-17)

        Grades 9-12 The Falling Kingdoms series has been called Game of Thrones for teens, and though it may not have quite the same scope, readers will certainly find themselves in a similar world of burgeoning magic and shifting alliances where no one (seriously, no one) is safe. This third volume dashes back and forth in perspective between Paelsian rebel leader Jonas, who's swiftly losing both supporters and battles; dark Limerian Crown Prince Magnus and his sorceress sister, Lucia; and the beautiful, conquered Auranian princess Cleo, forced into both a marriage and a political role she despises. There are several other intriguing characters, but as in previous volumes, it is these four who hold focus and push the narrative to the action-packed and bloody end that will no doubt leave readers clamoring for the next installment.HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Previous entries in the Falling Kingdom series have topped the New York Times best-seller list, and with the word-of-mouth promotional push that this latest title is getting, the huge marketing campaign feels almost redundant.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)

        Everyone in Mytica is searching for the Kindred, four magical stones full of unimaginable power: evil King Gaius, conflicted Prince Magnus, scheming Princess Cleo, secretive Princess Lucia, hotheaded rebel Jonas, and the ruthless Kraeshian royal family. While this installment's writing is somewhat stilted, Game of Thrones fans will appreciate the abundance of intrigue, betrayal, and violence in this dark fantasy series.
