I started reading it in late 2019, and I meant to actually write the review after I read it, but I got sick and then it just fell to the wayside.
This book had me laughing, gasping, and tearing up at all the right moments.After all the drama surrounding this book, I never actually got around to reviewing it until now. Red Tigress is excellent in continuing the threads of the first book, adding complexity to the plot and characters, and creating an emotional connection for all of our characters. If you were on the fence on continuing Blood Heir, I highly recommend that you do. She was absolutely terrifying and thrilling. We get to meet several new antagonists, but the one who stood out the most and scares the living daylights out of me is Sorscha, a cold-blooded psychopath hellbent on getting back at every single man that has ever wronged her. These two have my heart in their enemies-to-friends (and maybe more?) relationship. Another pair we get to know a bit more are Linn and Kais, prisoner and jailer turned reluctant allies escaping Cyrilia to fight for a better world. I loved seeing her fully embrace her powers instead of being afraid of them, as terrifying as they are. Ana, reluctant to make hard choices, takes steps to prepare her for ruling and war. Ramson specifically gets far more page time as we learn more about his past in the second act of the story and his motivations for the remainder of the series. The journeys of our mains, Ana and Ramson, made me truly love them more.
Amélie’s writing has improved quite a bit as the world expands, new cultures are explored, and new characters take the stage. It has been quite a while since I read Blood Heir, but it was surprisingly easy to return to the world of Cyrilia as revolution stirs the air and our main characters are scrabbling for survival after the brutal turn of events at the end of the last book.
Review: Second books in a trilogy are so tricky to get right and Red Tigress hit it out of the ballpark.
