![]() ![]() Then there’s Cai, the Roman soldier she fell in love with, who is pulled into the conflict as Fallon and her friends are forced to make a desperate escape from their home in the middle of the night. Bent on revenge, a rival school is about to threaten everything Fallon fought so hard to gain, including the autonomy she has won for herself and her fellow gladiatrices. Their gladiator academy is also flourishing, having gained the favor of Caesar as well as the Egyptian queen Cleopatra.īut those Fallon has wronged have not forgotten nor forgiven the way she humiliated them. Following the events of The Valiant, Fallon is looking forward to spending some time with her sister Sorcha, with whom she was recently reunited. Warning: possible spoilers for the first book if you haven’t read it yet! Our series protagonist, Fallon, has gone from Celtic princess to captured slave to Rome’s most beloved gladiatrix, but now she’s about to learn that fame comes with a price. I think it’s safe to say if you enjoyed The Valiant, then The Defiant will continue to impress. I adored the first book-finally, a Young Adult novel I was really hyped up for that didn’t disappoint me-but this sequel was even better. ![]() Publisher: Listening Library (February 13, 2018) Genre: Historical Fiction, Fantasy, Young Adult ![]() This does not affect the contents of my review and all opinions are my own.
