My review:
Just like with the first book, I really like this cover, I've always had a soft spot for hooded capes.
Once again you get a map and the list of characters - which is adapted for this book.The list of characters is handy to go back to when you're confused.
Morgan changed the way the chapters are introduced: instead of telling you which land you are in, you immediately know which character's POV this chapter is in and also where it takes place. I like this even better than the names of the places in the first book.
The prologue of this book introduces new characters, which is nice. It keeps the pace of the story going.
The world and characters are constantly being developed. You think that you know everything about a character and then something unexpected happens. Some of the characters that are mentioned in Falling Kingdoms are given a bigger role to play in Rebel Spring: Queen Althea and Lucia.
All in all, I think this is a good sequel in which a lot of things happen and there is never a dull moment. I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars on Goodreads.
Bye for now
