She sometimes acted without ever thinking about what consequences her actions would have. If someone is suffering from the plague, which is most certain deadly, it’s not possible to be up and running within days… at least I haven’t heard or read of something like that happening.Gabi started to annoy me a little. When they have to flee before the ten days are over, she turns a deaf ear to her sound advice and doesn’t even think about the people she meets and who help her ( no problem if the enemy catches it ) )! She doesn’t even warn them!And the people who do have the plague are better way too soon. Gabi immediately orders anyone who has been in contact with the person (she, Marcello, Lia, Luca and some of the knights) to go in quarantine and don’t be in the vicinity of other people for a duration of 10 days. Like when they discover someone who has the plague. I still enjoyed reading it, but this time there were some things that bothered me tremendously. *Originally Reviewed at Witchmag's BoekenplankThis book didn’t grab me as much as the previous one. I have never been more eager to go back in time!Bottom Line: Great second book. The ending was a pleasant surprise, and I can't wait to see how things go in the next book especially with the new plot developments towards the end. We see Gabi in some really tough spots, with huge decisions on her shoulders, and I couldn't help admire how she faces it all with bravery, common sense, loyalty and love. You really see what people are made of when those around them are hurt or sick, when your land, home and those you love are threatened. So many things were moving this plot forward as well as letting me get to know not only Gabi and Marcello better but also Lia and Luka, their mom, and through Gabi's memories, their father. There are still skirmishes, the threat of the plague coming, Rossi, danger, love, and adventure that fill the pages, and I was sucked into the story. On this trip back in time, Gabi, Lia, and their mother show up, and it doesn't take long for the action to get going. I wanted the best for her, and of course, I desired to see her and Marcello reunited. She is so fierce, open, and so easy to pull for. I loved being back in this world and in Gabi's head.
