The second book begins with Auriella attempting to fulfill her role as a Watcher, when her new (and rather irritating) king sends her on a dangerous mission.
She reunites with old friends and meets some new characters who possess abilities that allow them to aid her on her fairy tale-esque adventure. Unfortunately, the reader still finds Auriella is still doubtful of herself; thankfully, she is willing to face her fears in order to save mankind.
Hidden Fire displays a few improvements on Knight of Light. Knight of Light offered little backstory, but Hidden Fire reveals more information and the descriptions are enhanced in comparison. However, I still wish that Auriella would stop doubting herself and provide a stronger female main character for young readers.
Deirdra Eden delightfully mixes humor and fantasy adventure. Additionally, Hidden Fire is simple enough that middle school readers would have no trouble reading it on their own. Eden's story will captivate younger audiences.
