I would like to thank NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for letting me read this ARC.
I’m a huge fan of the books they publish and even more so their authors like Alyson Noel.

• “Your scent reminds me of springtime and sunshine and laughter and joy.” He kisses me with a wanting that matches my own. “And you taste like faith and hope and promises kept.”

• Starting this book with the epilogue, even with my suspicions my mind was already blown. I even went back to the first book to reread that epilogue, I’m loved how everything started tying together from the very start.

• Gray Wolf, the placing for time jumpers also known as trippers, has so many secrets going around and seems dark and mysterious. It’s been easy to see that no one trust the other with good reason and although we know what Author is up, what are his true intentions?

• I readily enjoyed this book and I love that Alyson Noel brings up fascinating topics such as Alchemy and Occultism as well in her works, while showing glimpses of another era. Truly wonderful and definitely something I love to read about. She had me hooked from the very beginning.

Ruling Destiny by A. Noel, published by Entangled Publishing is the second book in the Stolen Beauty Series. I recommend to read the books in order.
Back to Gray Wolf Academy starts Natasha and Braxton's heart-wrenching story. Beautifully thought out, beautifully written is this an unputdownable read that had me in suspense til the last page.

Thank you NetGalley for giving me the chance to review this book before release date. I loved this sequel, it tied in really well with the first book, and I loved being thrown back into this universe, Anything by Ms. Noel is always an immediate buy! Formal review to come via GoodReads, Amazon and socials.

An enchanting travel back to Gray Wolf Academy and our main character Natasha as she struggles through normal teen things...like boyfriends, classes, and time travel.

This book really stepped it up in the daggers to the back trope. I trusted noone by the end!

Highly enjoyed the level of detail and historical information.

💫 5/5 All I can say is WOW! Thank you NetGallery and Entangled Publishing for letting me read an advanced copy of Ruling Destiny! I screamed when I was approved!
With this being YA, the tarot cards and concepts and their meaning seem a little complex for adolescents. But being a young adult, I absolutely loved it! It’s dynamic and as soon as I fall in love and trust a character something happens to have me question that. They story building makes me feel like I am right there. I read this book so fast, and love the use of time travel, art and historical figures while incorporating previous relationships.
The only question I was left with, is when is book three going to be published?! I need it like ASAP!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to read this eARC.

I haven't read anything by this author in such a long time so I was delighted to see this on Netgalley and get approved to read it. I always loved how the author writes their characters and their world building is always fantastical. I loved that this story had time traveling pirates and some romance, it was definitely a more unique storyline than many fantasy books.

This book was such a fun ride. The chapters were short and easy to dive into.

this book was a magical story of time traveling pirates. It was romantic, fantastical, magical, gritty, confusing, unexpected, and fun. Natasha is such a compelling lead who will draw you in with her wit and charm and keep you reading to find out more about her romance and drama and hopes and dreams and goals. I cannot wait for the next book!
