#Tour #Giveaway #Review of Chantress Alchemy (Chantress Trilogy #2) by @AB_Greenfield #Published @SimonTeen ~ Crossroad Reviews

Lucy races against time and magic in this sequel to the “richly and thoughtfully written” (Publishers Weekly) Chantress.

Lucy is the last Chantress, the only remaining girl who can sing magic into the world. Since she defeated the evil Lord Scargrave, England has changed—and not for the better. With crops failing and the people rebelling, Lucy is called urgently back to King Henry’s court. His Inner Council is convinced that making gold through alchemy will save England. But a critical element to the alchemical process has been stolen. Lucy is tasked with finding it with her magic… or else. And until she succeeds, the castle is on lockdown.

Court too has changed. Scargrave's brutal Chantress-hunter has become King Henry's closest advisor. Lucy’s beloved Nat has fallen out of favor and is shunned by his colleagues; their romance means trouble for both of them. Worst of all, something goes wrong with Lucy’s magic. The palace is a labyrinth, and there’s a monster at its heart — a monster who may have the power to defeat Lucy once and for all.

Amy Butler Greenfield returns to the beguiling world of Chantress for a suspenseful tale of courtly intrigue, music, and magic in Chantress Alchemy.

Chantress Alchemy was an amazing enchanting sequel. Even better than the first. Secrets, betrayals, and more await the reader. Lucy was such a great character in book one and an even better one in book two. I think she really finds herself within the pages of this book. I really can't wait for book three. The setting in this one just built on what the author did with book one and this one surpassed its sister. The book was very fast paced and not bogged down or slow. You get on and it will take you for the ride of your life.
