Harper C.: Five Book Friday: Uncanny Graphic Novels (0 comment)
We are in the thick of winter here in the Pacific Northwest, which means it's dark, damp, and chilly. Rather than escaping to stories with warmer, brighter climates, I personally want nothing more than to dive deep into gothic and uncanny fiction as the wind rattles my windows at night...

ONE DIARY

TWO HEROINES

THREE LOCKETS

In this second Empress Chronicles Series book, Liz and Sisi continue their intertwined journey through time. On the heels of discovering a magical locket in the empress diary, Liz comes to understand its very special power: the wearer must speak the truth. Not only that, but it turns out that there are three lockets, each with their own magic and power.

Meanwhile, Sisi realizes that she’s communicating with a girl who lives 150 years in the future. A girl who knows what awaits her if she marries the emperor: lack of personal freedom and a legacy that will refer to her as the "reluctant empress."

With the world's future hanging in the balance, the two heroines must work together to thwart Lola, whose ambition to rule the Habsburg Empire will rewrite history, and lead to a terrifying new version of reality.

Review

"Vitello presents an intriguing, believable portrait of two young women caught up in events and circumstances beyond their control.” Publishers Weekly

After absolutely loving the first book in this series, I felt compelled to read and review the second book. If you have not read the initial book in The Empress Chronicle Series, I would recommend that you do before diving into The Keepsake. While the first book beautifully crafts the characters, this second in the series focuses mainly on plot and action. So if you don't know the characters it would be more difficult to follow. Still lovingly written with beautiful passages, The Keepsake shows Vitello’s intertwined relationship with words and moves forward the story of two girls who are connected, through time, by a trio of lockets.

In this adventure, Liz, in her attempt to help Sisi, living in the past, encourages Sisi to alter her life, which puts into motion a series of events that begins to change history. As the world around Liz starts to shift, she finds it has suffered. But, her personal life is much better than the actual one she is trying to live. Except, things are never what they seem and the connections she has formed might not exist in this new reality.

For me, the way Vitello writes is lyrical and lovely. There are so many moments that bind you deeply to the characters and their outcome. After reading The Keepsake, I’m curious and excited to see where this series goes from here.
