The Morning Flower by Amanda HockingMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ulla is still working her internship at the Mimirin, but now
she wants to know more than just who her birth parents are. When Eliana is kidnapped, Ulla not only feels
obligated to find her, she also wants to know who Eliana really is. During her travels she learns the possible
identity of her father, but the truth about her mother just keeps getting
murkier. Ulla’s research leads her to
the First City with the hope of answering many of her questions. What will Ulla learn about herself and her
family during her quests? What new
questions will be piled on top of the endless questions she has already
uncovered?
The Morning Flower is the second book in The Omte Origins
series. This story picks up rather
quickly after the ending of the first book and Hocking did a wonderful job of
leaving breadcrumbs to nudge the reader’s memory. This is a fantasy novel with a lot of
backstory that was built into the other companion series, yet this series can
be fully enjoyed without reading the other ones. There are family secrets, racial secrets and
a little bit of romance to mix things up.
The Morning Flower is a must read for all fans of Hocking’s other
novels.
