Dark Wings Spread

Book two in the series is a roller coaster ride of highs and lows for the protagonist, Aingeal. She was on top of the world when a catastrophe undermines everything she loves about her life. She had accepted her experience from the first book and made peace with it. But now everything changes as she accepts her new life, realizing she was meant to be the person she became in the first book. After that, if you've done something to wrong the women of her city, watch out!

This is the classic story of a woman pushed too far, and a woman more than willing to push back. But when she pushes, she takes it to the extreme. The writing really shines in the way the author takes us on the slippery emotional ride Aingeal experiences while she struggles to right many wrongs and fights to find her place in the world.

This book covers Aingeal's highest highs and lowest lows, taking the reader along every step of the way. The author, Carol Brearley, does an amazing job of putting the reader in Aingeal's shoes and letting us share in her personal experiences. This makes for a very engaging and emotionally draining reading experience.
