Riassunto

Sometimes, one must accomplish the impossible.Beneath the mountain, the king's reign of tyranny is absolute; the one troll with the capacity to challenge him is imprisoned for treason. Cecile has escaped the darkness of Trollus, but she learns all too quickly that she is not beyond the reach of the king's power. Or his manipulation.Recovered from her injuries, she now lives with her mother in Trianon and graces the opera stage every night. But by day she searches for the witch who has eluded the trolls for five hundred years. Whether she succeeds or fails, the costs to those she cares about will be high.To find Anushka, she must delve into magic that is both dark and deadly. But the witch is a clever creature. And Cecile might not just be the hunter. She might also be the hunted.File Under: Fantasy

Recensione:

'Love, adore, heart-to-freaking-pieces. This kind of book is why, why, why people need to look more closely at YA fantasy if they don't already. Let Jensen show you how it's done. Topping Stolen Songbird was always going to be a difficult task, but naturally Jensen manages it. The bar was set and so she vaulted over it, off into the sunset to a fanfare of praise.' - Jet Black Ink; 'This is a wonderfully written story, and as the second novel in this series, it perhaps even supersedes the first as it morphs in to entirely new directions.' - Quirkathonic; 'I would highly recommend this book to everyone! It's action-packed, full of magic and has great characters. My only regret is that I'll have to wait such a long time for the third book.' - The Fictional Reader; 'This was an absolutely fantastic YA fantasy novel. There is a ton of wonderful magic and intrigue in this book. I love the chemistry between Cecile and Tristan and how they are both striving to make the kingdom a better place for all involved. I really enjoyed this book a ton and am very excited to see how the story wraps up in the final book of this series. This series is highly recommended to fans of intrigue heavy fantasy.' - Hidden In Pages; 'This book is everything I wanted and more, I can't wait to see how this author will conclude this, so far amazing, trilogy!' - Zach's YA Reviews; 'Hidden Huntress is a solid and well developed story...Ms. Jensen's writing makes it so that the story remains intriguing and unpredictable each step of the way.' - The Blair Book Project; 'My heart soars and breaks at the same time just by thinking about this book. This awesome, stunning and wonderfully written book. Hidden Huntress was epic & such an exciting adventure into a world filled by magic so dark and beautiful. It made me smile, it made me grieve, it made my heart pump faster than ever before, and impossible as I thought it was, it made me fall harder and deeper in love with this series.' - The Writer & The Chef; 'Hidden Huntress is just as good, if not better, than Stolen Songbird. Let me tell you, this book has no hint of Middle Book Syndrome, which usually plagues trilogies. So much important stuff happens that I couldn't even begin to summarize it, and I'm not going to try. Because Hidden Huntress is too good to spoil!' - Leeanna.me; 'Hidden Huntress does not disappoint! This story is told with a confidence earned through vivid scenery, bright characters, and a theme that holds everything together like steel wire.' --Cowering King

'Hidden Huntress opens up the world, simply put. It felt bigger and more encompassing, upping the ante for all involved.

Everything that the first book set us up for comes to fruition, complete with welcome twists and unexpected surprises...that incredible ending sure has me eager for book three.' - The BiblioSanctum; 'Hidden Huntress is suspenseful, romantic, and will have you at the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next. If you loved Stolen Songbird, you should read this one immediately!' - Books Without Any Pictures; 'I enjoyed Hidden Huntress immensely which delivered in every aspect as much as I expected.

L'autore:

Danielle was born and raised in Calgary, Canada. At the insistence of the left side of her brain, she graduated in 2003 from the University of Calgary with a bachelor's degree in finance. But the right side of her brain has ever been mutinous; and in 2010, it sent her back to school to complete an entirely impractical English literature degree at Mount Royal University and to pursue publication. Much to her satisfaction, the right side shows no sign of relinquishing its domination.
