What if erasing the past cost more than you were willing to pay? Having narrowly escaped their enemies, Sephone, Dorian, and Cass continue their search for the elusive Silvertongue, the only one with knowledge of the Reliquary's whereabouts. But time is running out for Sephone, and with Dorian accused of high treason, the quest takes on a new urgency. As secrets from each of their pasts drive a wedge between them, Sephone invests all her hopes in finding her homeland, Lethe--where her family may yet be alive. But nothing about Lethe is as she expects, and disappointment, betrayal, and danger await her at every turn. When the truth about the Reliquary's curse comes to light, the fragile bonds between the unlikely companions are tested like never before. Meanwhile, Dorian faces a terrible choice: to save the life of one who is beginning to mean more to him than the past he's so desperate to forget, or to save his beloved Caldera from dangers outside and within.

I absolutely fell in love with J.J. Fischer's writing when I read the first book in The Nightingale Trilogy, Calor, a year ago. That book was everything that a fantasy novel should be and then some, so, since then I have been desperately waiting for the second book, Lumen, to release. And finally, I got my hot little hands on it and I dove in with glee.
Lumen was everything that I hope it would be. J.J. Fischer may have surprised me a few times with the direction this second Nightingale Trilogy book went, but I was never disappointed one iota. All of the characters that I've come to love, such as Lady Jewel, were back as well as the appearance of some old and new enemies. They kept me anxiously turning those pages and nearly unable to put the book down even to sleep. I was by turns delighted and dismayed as circumstances dictated on each new page as J.J. Fischer had me completely engrossed and involved in the lives of her characters. Her worldbuilding is exquisite and her pacing keeps the story moving forward at a fast clip.
I enjoyed every moment spent reading Lumen and I would highly recommend The Nightingale Trilogy to any older YA or adult reader who enjoys fantasy. The story is entertaining for sure, but there is also much more to it if you look. The only tough thing is now having to wait until the final book releases to find out just who will make it to the last page alive...
