Review: The Betrayed

The Betrayed by Kiera Cass
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hollis is a young widow.  She was only married for one hour, but the heartbreak is still there.  She has had to flee Coroa with the Eastoffe family to Isolte.  This family has helped her come to terms with all her losses, yet Etan is constantly rocking the family dynamics with his distaste for Coroans.  There is unrest in Hollis’ home country as well as her new country and the Eastoffes may have what it takes to wrestle the country away from a dishonest king.  Will Hollis be able to love her adopted homeland?  How will she come to terms with the longings of her heart?

 

The Betrayed is the concluding book in The Betrothed duology.  This young adult romance was fun and intriguing.  Cass had these characters pondering many issues that are still apparent today, yet the different world lets readers escape current troubles for a time.  This book isn’t long and it isn’t short, so it should appeal to readers across the spectrum.  I recommend this book to everyone who read and enjoyed The Betrothed.
