The Broken Ones by Danielle L. Jensen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
We are back in Trollus, but this time before the Songbird’s entrance. This is the story of Marc and Penelope and provides us with an explanation for Marc’s character in the The Malediction Trilogy.
I always liked Marc and was looking forward to reading more about him through his point of view, which also gives a different perspective on Tristan. Sadly, I wasn’t a fan of Penelope. I understood where she came from and that her life was not the greatest, yet I sensed a character trait that I didn’t like.
The story gives us the foundation of Tristan’s plot to bring down his own father and it is filled with many political twists and turns and mind games.
Old enemies are making a comeback and the reader gets a tease of what made Anais what she is later on in the trilogy.
Overall, a great treat for fans of Jensen’s The Malediction Trilogy and I would highly recommend it.
