"In a land where magic has been forgotten but peace has reigned for centuries, a deadly unrest is simmering. Three kingdoms grapple for power—brutally transforming their subjects' lives in the process. Amidst betrayals, bargains, and battles, four young people find their fates forever intertwined:
Cleo: A princess raised in luxury must embark on a rough and treacherous journey into enemy territory in search of a magic long thought extinct.
Jonas: Enraged at injustice, a rebel lashes out against the forces of oppression that have kept his country impoverished—and finds himself the leader of a people's revolution centuries in the making.
Lucia: A girl adopted at birth into a royal family discovers the truth about her past—and the supernatural legacy she is destined to wield.
Magnus: Bred for aggression and trained to conquer, a firstborn son begins to realize that the heart can be more lethal than the sword. . . .
The only outcome that's certain is that kingdoms will fall. Who will emerge triumphant when all they know has collapsed?"

My Thoughts:
I've heard this be compared to the Game of Thrones but for teens. I haven't read that book yet.
However I was enchanted from the start by Falling Kingdoms, Morgan did an amazing job describing the world. I loved the characters and love the setting of the story. I wasn't sure how it was going to end. I am looking forward to picking up the next installment in the series.
This has become a new favorite series of mine.
If you love fantasy, romance, an amazing heroine, and multiple characters this book is for you!!
Check it out, 5/5 stars, happy reading, ashley
:), hope you love it as much as I did!!
