Gr 7 Up—In Fates (Delacorte, 2014), readers met Corinthe, a supernatural being from Pyralis Terra exiled to Humana (Earth) to act as Executor, ensuring the balance of destiny by occasionally enginnering a human death. Though assigned to kill Luc, she finds herself falling in love. In this sequel, the teens must grapple with the consequences of their rule-shattering relationship. Add where the first book has proven popular.
In this sequel to Fates, steamy star-crossed romances draw human siblings Jas and Luc into a power struggle among different factions of a Faerie-esque parallel world. Intriguing world-building and well-chosen details are lost in the overall execution. Plentiful characters and their tangled alliances are difficult to track even before the time travel starts, and action sequences are so conceptual as to lose urgency.
