I enjoyed this book, but it was not as good as the first one.

The magic system, while quite interesting, seems to change rules so it fits in the plot, which made me a bit upset. However, I was not as upset as when I've seen how the people treat her, even when she did everything to prove to them that she just wanted to help. I can't believe they made the mad one seem actually decent.

I can't wait to read book 3 and I really hope it's gonna get better, because, in my opinion, this story has a lot of potential.

I thoroughly enjoyed Sought by Destiny-Book 2 of Chronicles of the Fates. It's hard to make a sequel live up to the first book but this one definitely delivers! I really loved the action packed fantasy storyline and the development of characters. Fantasy/ romantasy girls this one's for you!! I can't wait for book 3!

thank you NetGalley for the advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.

I was really excited for this because I actually really enjoyed the first book in this series, but the quality of this one is not the best. Besides the grammar and spelling mistakes (which can be fixed) I found the story and the writing to just be bad this time around.

I went back and re read the first one and then jumped right into this one. Let me tell you, I was screaming at the pages and pacing my house. I can't believe how hooked into the world I am. I honestly hope that Feylin, sees that she is amazing and truly should be treasured. I loved the multi POV's throughout so you can really get a deeper understanding of all the players. I am on edge for the next book and will be re reading both books before the third one, only because I am hooked on it all.

OMG OMG OMG! that is literally the best way I can define this beauty. If you want a new fantasy after reading the same five famous authors over and over again, this is the book for you. I felt like I crawl into this world and live it with the main character. I am definitely going to be buying the entire series and adding it to my book shelf to read again and again . The characters have such depth that you feel them to your core. I need more of this writers work ASAP.

This was a strong sequel in the Chronicles of the Fates series, it had that feel that I was looking for from the first book. The characters had that overall feel that I was looking for and enjoyed the way they felt in this story. The plot had that element that I was hoping for and enjoyed the overall concept going on. Monica Ageno has a strong writing style and am excited for more in this series.

Sought by Destiny had a lot of potential, but I found myself a bit underwhelmed compared to the first book. While it started off charming—I was rooting for Feylin to finally be with someone who truly cared for her—the story slowed down considerably in the middle, and the characters’ decisions left me more frustrated than intrigued. I’ll be honest: Storm didn’t win me over at all, and I couldn’t understand why Feylin was so drawn to someone who seemed unwilling to communicate or listen to her. Zarius, who’s caught in the middle, deserves way better than this complicated square of relationships.

The world-building and magic system, while creative, felt more confusing in this installment. Boundaries were inconsistent, like how a potion witch could be labeled as a top threat, yet mind manipulation magic seemed to get a free pass. It also seemed like new types of magic or abilities would appear whenever the plot needed them, which sometimes destabilized the story’s focus.

That said, the writing style is enjoyable, and there’s something about the character dynamics that’s undeniably fun. If you’re already invested in Feylin’s journey, this book might still be worth the read for its unique charm, even if it left me wanting a bit more cohesion.

Sought By Destiny by Monica Ageno is such a good read! Monica is a fantastic author. I recommend everyone to read this book as fast as they can because it's really good.
