Untoward Awakening(Amethysta Trilogy) by Sara Secora
The second instalment of Amethysta Trilogy by Sara Secora has finally arrived. The first book in this fantasy series was launched in August 2016. I remember that I had liked the book back then.

Although it has been 3 years the moment I heard about it, the story of Amethysta in ‘Throne of Lies’ came flooding back in. Sara surely took her time to write the story further but after reading this book, I am satisfied that the wait was worth it.

Why Fantasy???
On the other day, as I chatted with my friend while going to the library in my neighbourhood; I casually told her about the book which I am going to issue. I stopped short as she turned towards me with an expression of mild annoyance and said “Again!?” And I knew what she was thinking at that very moment.
