Rodasia is in the brink of collapse, and the Emperor of Devin proposes a Summit to discuss the future. But when betrayal comes from all sides, Gwen doesn't know who she can trust.
Soon she is on the run, and when all hope seems lost, Gwen must find a way to not just save herself, but save her people and all those she loves. And the solution is nothing like what she thought it would be.

Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

Everyone loves Mathias. Naturally, when he discovers it’s his destiny to save the world, he dives in headfirst, pulling his best friend, Aaslo, along for the ride. However, saving the world isn’t as easy, or exciting, as it sounds in the stories. The going gets rough, and folks start to believe their best chance for survival is to surrender to the forces of evil, which isn’t how the prophecy goes. At all. As the list of allies grows thin and the friends find themselves staring death in the face, they must decide how to become the heroes they were destined to be.

Such a perfect sequel to the last book
Man it's books like these that keep me coming back to Janelle Garrett. She is wonderful and the narrator is soothing. I was skeptical because sometimes the second books are not as good as the first but this one delivers in every way possible. I am stoked as hell to read the next one.

The Queen Faces New Challenges
Overall, The Coming Light is an excellent continuation of the Rodasia Chronicles. Queen Gwen has survived her initial challenges and is now working hard to defend her kingdom and its people from the evil Emperor Nicholas and his army. But that's not all. She has to keep peace within her realm and is even at odds with herself over her new marriage, her past feelings (for someone else), and whether or not to believe in Jacob's teachings about the prophet Jeremiah. And that last aspect is perhaps the most interesting part of the book. But at times, it can also be the most irritating. Gwen's youth and inexperience get in her own way more than once. Her pride and naivete make her ripe for manipulation, whether it's by the Emperor or the Inner Sanctuary. It's understandable, given her circumstances...but at times, I wanted to grab Gwen by the shoulders and shake some sense into her.
I enjoyed how "background" characters like Esther, Lacey, Charles, Nate, and even the Monarch Council were expanded on in this book. There were shocking twists for many of the characters, but especially these. Some of it seemed harsh at times. But given the circumstances, it remained understandable.
The Christian aspects of the overall story were significantly expounded on, which I appreciated. The growing influence and inspiration of Jeremiah was made clear in specific characters and the population in general. The prophet's background was also disclosed. Artistic liberties were taken, but it was unmistakable that Jeremiah serves the purpose of being a fictionalized representation of Jesus' time on Earth as the Son of God and the influence He had on the world.
The narrator managed the wide variety of female and male characters with the same deftness she used in Book One. It was an engaging listen.
The author did a great job setting up things for Book Three. It did give me some apprehension how this will all end up. But that's perfectly fine. I recommend this book!
