New
York Times bestselling author Amanda Hocking returns to the magical world
of the Trylle with The Morning Flower, the second book in the Omte
Origins arc.
Welcome back to the kingdom of the Omte—a forest realm where secrets and
danger, human nature and ancient mythology collide.
Where truth is stranger than fiction.
Searching for answers to her own shrouded origins, Ulla Tulin’s journey of
exploration takes a sudden turn when Eliana is kidnapped. Turning toward the
Omte capital instead of the institute where she hoped to learn the truth about
her identity, Ulla must put Eliana’s welfare before her own—a sacrifice that
will present all new dangers to them both.
When history is still unwritten.
Ulla never expected that once she arrived she’d discover the identity of a
Skojare man who crossed paths with her mother—a man who could very well be her
father. Given the man’s connections to the Älvolk, a secret society tasked with
protecting the location of the First City, Ulla is soon dispatched to Sweden to
find him.
One woman will dare to go wherever fate will take her…
Now Ulla, along with her maybe boyfriend Pan, finds herself on a desperate race
against time to locate her kin—who could very well pose a danger to her
kingdom. Nobody and nothing is as it seems as she penetrates the dark heart of
the Älvolk… all the way to the secret Lost Bridge to the First City, where an
unknown future awaits for Ulla and her kind.

Jordan – ☆☆☆
After finishing The Lost City (The Omte Origins #1), I had hoped that
maybe book two, The Morning Flower, would hold more appeal, but I ended
up feeling just as disenchanted with the sequel as I was with the first book. I
just didn’t care for it.
I really wanted to like this series and I hoped that I might find myself more
enchanted with The Morning Flower, but that just wasn’t the case. The
Morning Flower picks up shortly after the ending of The Lost City, with
Ulla and Pan on the road to the Omte capital. Much like the first book, the
second book seemed to just drag itself out without anything of real interest
happening for the majority of the book and then the only interesting tidbits
seemed to happen in the last 20% of the book, only for it to end with another
cliffhanger. At this point, I don’t even feel the desire to read the final book
in The Omte Origins trilogy. Unfortunately, I just couldn’t find myself
interested enough in Ulla or even the spark of potential between her and Pan or
any other potential love interest such as, Jem-kruk. I had hoped that I might
feel more enamored with Hocking’s characters by the end of The Morning
Flower, but that wasn’t the case.
All in all, three stars for The Morning Flower by Amanda Hocking.
