Books On Our Radar: Obsidian and Stars (Ivory and Bone #2) by Julie Eshbaugh
I am so very excited for Obsidian and Stars by Julie Eshbaugh! I haven’t read anything as unique as Ivory and Bone in all of my YA reading craze! Ivory and Bone is a 5-star read! It will surley be on my best of 2016 list, and I highly recommend it for all those looking for that book that is perfect unto itself and leaves you satisfied yet wanting more. I am delighted to learn that Obsidian and Stars switches viewpoints and we are now continuing the story but from Mya’s POV. I can’t wait to get into her head more after her mysterious and closed off attitude in book one. Obsidian and Stars is the second book in this unconventional trilogy and it is releasing on June 13th, 2017, so be sure to read Ivory and Bone soon, as you will not want to miss out on this prehistoric fantasy series that is sure to have everyone talking!

In the sequel to Ivory and Bone—the prehistoric fantasy novel that New York Times bestselling author Amie Kaufman described as a “richly crafted world of life-and-death stakes”—the story shifts to Mya’s viewpoint as vengeful adversaries force her to flee the life she once knew.
After surviving the chaotic battle that erupted after Lo and the Bosha clan attacked, now Mya is looking ahead to her future with Kol. All the things that once felt so uncertain are finally falling into place. But the same night as Kol and Mya’s betrothal announcement, Mya’s brother Chev reveals his plan to marry his youngest sister Lees to his friend Morsk. The only way to avoid this terrible turn of events, Morsk informs Mya when he corners her later, is for Mya to take Lees’ place and marry him herself.
Refusing to marry anyone other than her beloved, and in an effort to protect her sister, Mya runs away to a secret island with Lees. And though it seems like the safest place to hide until things back home blow over, Mya soon realizes she’s been followed. Lurking deep in the recesses of this dangerous place are rivals from Mya’s past whose thirst for revenge exceeds all reason.
With the lives of her loved ones on the line, Mya must make a move before the enemies of her past become the undoing of her future.
