    About this ebook

    The Stone Heart is the second book in the Nameless City trilogy from Faith Erin Hicks.

    Kaidu and Rat have only just recovered from the assassination attempt on the General of All Blades when more chaos breaks loose in the Nameless City: deep conflicts within the Dao nation are making it impossible to find a political solution for the disputed territory of the City itself.

    To complicate things further, Kaidu is fairly certain he's stumbled on a formula for the lost weapon of the mysterious founders of the City. . . . But sharing it with the Dao military would be a complete betrayal of his friendship with Rat. Can Kai find the right solution before the Dao find themselves at war?

      Really enjoyed it. A lot of dark action and machinations. Great young adult/middle grade fantasy a la Avatar or Yona of the Dawn.
    • 3/5
      Not as good as the first book, this entry suffers from middle-of-the-trilogy syndrome. There is a lot of talking and little action as all the characters are moved into position for the big finale. It does its job well enough and leaves me wanting book three ASAP.
    • 4/5
      This second installment of the series starts with a short review of the Nameless city with two strangers who are visiting the city. Next the reader is back with Rat and Kaidu, who are within the walls of the palace and can leave through the entrance since their adventure in the first book. This book is not as action packed in the beginning but looks at the idea of a council that will reconnect the city to all people instead of ruled by the Current rulers and Rat and Kaidu are trying to get their own perspective on it. Not everybody agrees with the idea of a council and the kids find out there is something that could be used to unite people. Action, suspense, surprises, and, great illustrations continue the story of the Nameless City. I can't wait for the final and third book. Read an advanced copy

      Palace intrigue among Dao leaders turns the hope for peace into a looming disaster as the monks of the Stone Heart monastery are forced to surrender a book of deadly secrets.Hicks’s action adventure with its background thirteenth century Chinese backdrop and multicultural cast continues on with its carefully timed reveals and art that visually pants breathless action.
    • 5/5
      This was an amazing continuation of The Nameless City series. Things get pretty tense in this book. I love the detail that went into building this world and the beautifully colored and detailed illustrations. The characters are amazing as well.The Nameless City ends up on the brink of war again...despite the best efforts of those who live there and want to engender peace once and for all.Kadu unravels more history behind his father’s past and Rat reveals some secrets behind the monastery she grew up in. Both are struggling not only to save the City but their own lives.The illustration throughout is fantastic and easy to follow. The story is getting increasingly complex and things get pretty intense. I would recommend to middle grade and older readers as a result. This should be a graphic novel adults will enjoy too; it’s complex enough and deals with some interesting issues around war.Overall I really loved this 2nd volume in the Nameless City series. I would recommend to those who enjoy fantasy graphic novels about war and politics. This is an incredibly well done series with excellent illustration and an amazing world.

      reviewed by uncorrected egalley (netgalley)

      children's graphic (adventure/alternate fantasy world with lots of fighting/power struggles everyday diversity)--would recommend to 4th grades and up.
      I read the 1st installment in its final printed format, so I can tell you that Faith Erin Hicks' artwork is beautiful. I love all the layers of the characters (their loyalties and hopes for their families) and world-building (all the different peoples fighting and/or working together) and can't wait to read #3. I also like the sketches included in the back and the shout out to libraries was nice (after all that destruction happened in the story!). Well done and highly recommended.
    • 4/5
      It was a little difficult getting back into this because I had forgotten so much about the plot of the first book, but it clicked and really started rolling about halfway through. I still feel a little uneasy about the pseudo-Chinese thing it's got going on, but I do like the characters an awful lot.
    • 4/5
      It continues plot and character development well in time for the 3rd and final chapter.
    • 4/5
      I thought I had read the first of this series, but now I’m not so sure. This was compelling and a quick read. I’ll definitely read the third.
    • 4/5
      Rat and Kai are caught up in the dangerous politics of the Nameless City. This is a lovely series, well-drawn and nicely paced. The attention to detail of dress, furniture, tiled roofs etc. really makes the Nameless City shine.
