Enter a world of faerie magic and epic adventure in this spellbinding sequel to Estranged—a rich fantasy graphic novel perfect for fans of Amulet.
After years of pretending to be human, the changeling Edmund Carter has assumed his rightful role as Cinder, king of the World Below. But not everyone at the royal palace is happy about his return.
Meanwhile, Ed is adjusting to human life in the World Above. His birth family treats him with a kindness he never knew growing up in the Fay court, but Ed misses the sense of purpose he had as a knight.
When a mysterious new threat emerges in the World Below, Cinder must call on Ed and their older sister, Alexis, for help. But nothing can prepare them for the family secret that awaits at the end of their perilous quest.
With over two hundred pages of gorgeous watercolor paintings, The Changeling King invites readers on an epic journey through a magical world—one they will not soon forget.
Estranged #2 The Changeling King by Ethan M. Aldridge is the sequel to a remarkable first book. It’s a year after Edmund and Cinder’s life changed when they went back to their own worlds.
Can King Cinder save his people?
Edmund Carter
Edmund is having a bit more of a hard time transitioning from being a knight to the king and queen to a normal human child. He is a great character that has grown a lot in this book differently than in the first one. I like how Edmund is in this book.
King Cinder – The Changeling King
King Cinder has been given the title of the “Changeling King” by the other Fay around him. He sadly didn’t know about some things that were happening and the riots in his kingdom. I like how Cinder is in this book, as well. He has grown physically and mentally as well and is letting his fairy come out and learning more about his heritage.
Five Stars
Estranged #2 The Changeling King by Ethan M. Aldridge is another excellent book by this new author. Mr. Aldridge has created a magnificent world. I am giving this book five stars and recommending it to all. So many things in this book that has surprised me. The one thing I do have to say is that I feel bad for Edmund when he’s around some high fairies.
First Book in the Series
Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of Estranged #2 The Changeling King by Ethan M. Aldridge.
