And when I finished reading the prologue, I remember looking at a family member and telling them that I was in for a wild ride.
I remember reading the prologue of Greythorne. I remember being wonderfully excited to finally read more of Aurelia’s story. And I continuously thank the amazing publishers at HMH and Crystal for the opportunity to read this beauty early.
I know I needed to read Greythorne before I finished Bloodleaf, but the synopsis reveal of Greythorne increased my impatient need for the sequel. I read the synopsis of Greythorne, and I saw the direction Smith was heading in and crumbled, legitimately freaked out, as I will protect Zan and Aurelia to the ends of the Earth. Bloodleaf almost wraps up like a great standalone, so I found myself wondering: what does Crystal Smith have planned for these intricate characters and should I be worried? The answer is YES, and let me tell you, Greythorne is a beast out for revenge and it is wonderful. The ending to Bloodleaf had me wondering about what Smith had in mind for the characters. Greythorne has easily become my favorite in this trilogy, though I have a feeling Ebonwilde will top both books but destroy me (hopefully in a good way) in the process. That’s exactly how I felt with Greythorne. Smith provides a sequel with heartache and hardships, with love and insurmountable loss, and with beautiful imagery and a unique storyline. And sometimes you read the sequel to said book and have your whole heart swept away and breath knocked right out of you…but in a good way.
Sometimes you read a book that’s beautiful and wildly creative and full of life. You can read my review of Bloodleaf here! Halt!

Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Indiebound Book Depository My Review But in her darkest moments when all seems grim, will Aurelia find a spark of hope from a love she thought long lost? With everyone turned against her and enemies closing in on all sides, Aurelia has nothing left to lose in a mad fight to protect the only people she has left-her family. With no place left to call her own, Aurelia returns to Greythorne Manor-her best friend’s family mansion-only to get swept up in a coup d’état on the night of her brother’s coronation. Summary: Princess Aurelia’s life is turned upside down when the kingdom she thought she saved turns to ruin, a loved one is tragically killed in a shipwreck, and her home country refuses to respect her brother’s legitimate claim to the throne.
