| My Blog | Instagram | The Stone’s Heart by Jessica Thorne is the second book of The Queens Wing Series. As a continuance of a Fantasy Series, it is best to read the first book before this one. That being said, you may be able to garner enough of an understanding to read this one as a stand-alone (I’d still not recommend this). The Stone’s Wing, revolves around Bel, who wants nothing more than to become a flyer – like her older brothers. But, born on the fringe of royalty Bel was trained to be Princess. One day, after talking her governess into it, Bel took her Wasp out on a flight – but while she was gone her city was attacked. As a result, majority of the Royal Family was decimated – leaving Bel’s father as the new King. Being the daughter of a King, Bel is betrothed in order to secure an alliance with another planet. Together, they travel to his country amidst fighting for their life. This second novel largely lends to the story-line of the first, expanding the world and developing characters through the introduction of new voices. After overthrowing the attackers, Bel takes her place as leader of her new world. With the help of General Petra Kel, they battle (and thwart) the meany threats coming towards them. Passively, the two voices seem fairly similar, which gets a little confusing and muddle-some.Through the developmental movements of characterisation, Thorne manages to build both worlds, and people who are intriguing and thought-provoking, whilst not detracting from the overall thematic aspects. As novels go, this one contains fully-fledged characters, who develop their own hopes, dreams and emotions throughout. While the beginning sets a slow pace, similar to the first novel it picks up, and kicks off.
