4.5 Stars
Mia time at the castle taught her allot, but leaving it all behind and going back to the normality of school is hard espically when she finds out someone is after her. Her and her brother Dino escape back to the glass castle once again and this time even though they know more about themselves they still have growing pains when it comes to their powers and who they can trust.
She became close to Colt over the summer, but is the memory better than reality or will they find their feeling have only gotten stronger?
As they work to uncover the mystery of who is after her for her power loyalties will be tested and trust will be hard to find amongst themselves. When it all comescrashing down how much will the betrayer have taken from them?
Mia has grown stronger as a person, even though she is still learning about her powers. She lets her instincts guide her and while some might think her foolish for it you see how much stronger she really is.
Dino is trying to find finself after the disaster that was last summer, and he's determined to do everything he can to be different from his father. I enjoyed seeing more of him in this one and seeing his growth.
Great addition to this series I was sucked into the story from the start and am excited to see even more from this series in the future. -
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK!!! I could seriously read about Mia and Colt forever, there's never a dull moment! I want to be a Tempestus so badly!! Gabriella you are amazing :)

In this sequel to The Witches of the Glass Castle we find Mia and her brother Dino fleeing their home to return to the Glass Castle in order to avoid having Mia be sent away to hide her and her newly discovered gift. Mia was born with the Arx a powerful magical force field that keeps it's owner safe from all harm. Unfortunately for Mia where there is great power there is usually great evil looking to take that power for themselves.
Because of some magical visions they find out someone is looking to kill Mia to gain her power the only problem is they don't know who it is. So with the help of friends, mentors, and one seriously hunky Hunter boyfriend Mia and her brother try to keep her safe while finding a way to release her of the Arx without her getting hurt or worse. The only problem is when you don't know who your enemy is it can be anyone even those you trust the most.
This was a wonderful continuation of the Glass Castle series. The characters are interesting and as emotionally complex as most teenagers are but they always come together to help if there is trouble. Throw in some magic, mystery, and danger and you can't go wrong. I hope to see more to this series because I would love to see how the characters continue to grow and in this magic world the possibilities are endless. In my opinion Uprising is definitely recommended. -

This book is the sequel to "The witches of the Glass Castle" that I really enjoyed !!! I wanted to read more and more about Mia, Colt, Dino and co.
When I learned that a sequel would be released in December, I was more than happy !
This book follows once again Mia in her journey.This time, her mum and her aunt want to send her away to protect her from a mysterious danger. Dno and Mia run away to go to the Glass Castle and seek Gwendolyn's advices.
Of course, Mia is also happy to go back there because of Colt.
Colt is a hunter, which means he is not supposed to be trusted nor loved. But Mia and him fell in love. Mia trusts Colt, no matter what. But can she ?
People are disappearing, dying, and a book of dark magic is stolen. Everything seems to accuse Colt. But Mia can't believe that her Colt wants to kill her. despite a fight between them because of Colt's stubborness, she trusts him more than everyone else, besides her brother Dino.
But if it's not Colt, who wants to kill her ?
This book is amazing, even better than the first one !
I liked everything. The witty comments, the plot, the characters development... You can't guess what will happen next, and it's pretty fast paced ! -
A little predictable but as good as the first one. Gabriella's writting was even better in this sequel! i'm excited to read more books by her

I really enjoyed coming back into this story although it took me a couple of chapters to recall some things that happened in the first book. I love the characters personalities and they are all hilarious in one way or another. I'm sad that Johnathan died as I quite liked him and I suspected Amos from the start and didn't really trust him because it was obvious. The ending was perfect but I hope this wasn't the last we see of these characters.

Amaaaaaaziiiiiinggggg

I really enjoyed this book, the relationship between Mia and Colt especially.
Someone is out to kill Mia and steal her power and Dino doesn't want Mia sent away so he talks her into fleeing their home and going back to the Glass Castle.
Is she safe there? -
Romance and Fantasy for Cosmopolitan Girls
Leggere questo fantasy young adult, ha consolidato il fatto che ormai sono troppo vecchia, 30 anni, per questi romanzi. Un pò di magia fa sempre piacere al cuore, aiuta a evadere dalla realtà più facilmente ma manca quel piglio "hot" che ormai contraddistingue le mie letture predilette.
Non che la lettura di questo romanzo sia stata sgradevole, mi ha solo aiutato a realizzare che ormai questo genere non fa più per me.
Ma passiamo all'analisi di questo libro.
E' la conclusione della Serie Witches of the Glass Castle, si può leggere anche come standalone.
Mia e Dino sono due fratelli che hanno scoperto da poco di avere dei poteri magici, lei è una streghetta che riesce a controllare gli elementi climatici mentre lui percepisce i sentimenti delle persone che gli stanno vicino.
Una volta venuta a galla la loro seconda identità, trascorrono l'estate al Glass Castle, un castello fatto interamente di vetro, invisibile alle altre persone. In questo luogo, gestito dalla saggia Maga Wendolyn imparano a controllare i nuovi poteri.
Il paragone tra il Castello di Vetro e Hogwarts di Harry Potter è immediato ed inevitabile. Ma in difesa di questo libro, dopo il successo colossale della serie fantasy più amata da grandi e piccini, sostengo sia impossibile non trovare delle similitudini con tutti i fantasy post HP.
La storia si snocciola con la fuga di Mia e Dino dalla loro abitazione verso il Castello di Vetro in cerca di rifugio. Mia è la custode di un enorme potere scudo che attira i maghi della peggior specie tutti intenzionati a rubarglielo, e l'unico modo per farlo è uccidendola. I ragazzi sperano che la saggia maga possa trovare una soluzione, proteggendo la ragazza nel contempo.
Ma qualcosa sembra essere diverso nel Castello di Vetro, rispetto all'estate scorsa, ci sono nuovi abitanti e nuovi studenti. L'atmosfera non è la stessa.... Tutti stanno aiutando Mia per cercare una soluzione ma quando false accuse vengono scagliate a persone innocenti e un ragazzo rimane coinvolto irreparabilmente, ci si domanda di chi ci si possa davvero fidare.
Dove troviamo la sfumatura rosa che vanno cercando tutte le appassionate di romance? Mia, la streghetta sedicenne, si è innamorata di Colt, il Cacciatore, di qualche anno più grande. La loro amicizia/amore è pericolosa in quanto i loro poteri sono opposti e non ci può essere futuro per loro. Ma la testardaggine giovanile, ci dimostra che quello che conta sono i sentimenti, il resto verrà poi.
Un young adult leggero e ben scritto con una nota di mistero che fa da ciliegina sulla torta. Una lettura distensiva per scrollarsi dalle spalle una pesante giornata di lavoro.
Ogni tanto ci vuole, non siete d'accordo con me?? -
MUST.HAVE.MORE!!!

3.15-3.25?
Honestly I don't even know where to start. I don't get how this book got high ratings when there's literally nothing going on for most of the book rather than looking the spell to break the Arx. Hell I don't even remember much of it because of how B O R E D I am. It was very hard for me to finish this book same as the first one, I thought her writing would improve but NO. There are still lots of things unanswered and also Amos' reasoning for doing it is as shallow as Tol's reason in the first book. The author also introduced so many new characters and we barely see them in the book ugh.
I didn't like Mia on the first book but I hated her on this one like stop being whiny and actually learn to improve your Tempestus power 💀. However, it's the opposite for Colt. I hated him on the first book but he actually got better on this one. His "assholeness" is actually used for good here and on place. I also like how we get to see how Siren is like given that he barely appeared on the first book, he's actually funny and charming for me lmfao.
Also I like how Dino and Mia's relationship improved very much on this book. I was wondering if Kizzy was gonna appear until she did past the middle of the book 🙄. Ngl I found Jonathan annoying but I felt really bad that he died tho like man he didn't deserve that. Also wtf Amos, how could you kill your own brother like that's so twisted. Lowkey didn't like Demetrius when he was first introduced but then he's actually a good guy and helped them greatly in the end.
I just hated that none of them have mastered their abilities except the Hunters and maybe Kizzy. I thought Blue would finally conjure something other than Buttons (I still feel bad). Almost half it are just waiting around for nothing. It feels like there could be more sequels to this because I thought that Dino's gonna be officially a Hunter in the end.
ANYWAYS, Quite surprised me how this series has no mature scenes, perfect to recommend for kids and minors ❤️ -
I received this book from Enticing Journey in return for a fair and honest review.
This book continues a few months after the old one and starts with Dino and Mia sneaking back to the Glass Castle. The reason they are sneaking instead of going with full parental approval and fanfare like last time is because Mia's life is in danger due to something that is out of her control. Her mother and aunt want to send to her to the back of beyond, by herself, until the danger has passed but Mia and Dino are having none of that.
They go to the Glass Castle where they meet with old friends and new faces. Wendolyn is aware of the danger and is already trying to find a way to help Mia. She has personal feelings mixed in with her desire to help, as you find out.
This story is just as enticing as the first one, with twists and turns aplenty. I have to admit I wasn't surprised at who the 'bad guy' was as I'd thought it was him from the very start but how it was written was compelling and intriguing enough that my pleasure wasn't spoiled in any way!
Colt did give me heart attack a couple of times but he still remains my favourite character, although Siren and Dino are catching up with Blue.
The emotional ride that this book takes you on is full of angst but also hope and humour. I really enjoyed this second book and really, REALLY hope that there will be a third! There's so much more that I need to read about. Definitely recommended. -
This is the second book in The Witches of the Glass Castle. Lepore has brought another great story for everyone to read.
As we ended book one of The Witches of the Glass Castle series, Mia and Dino not only survived a battle with their dark and evil father, but they made friendships and Mia even found the love of her young life in the hunter Colt. But as summer ends and Mia and Dino go back home they learn of a new threat that is now after Mia.
Mia has learned of a new power that she has that is coveted by any dark witch or hunter. Instead of allowing her mother to send her off somewhere by herself to be alone Mia and Dino, find their way back to the Glass Castle. But things are much different for Mia and Dino this time. With the help of some new Arcana Witches and new Hunters, can Mia and Dino find out who is the threat that is after Mia. Will Colt and Mia pick right back up with their relationship or just like season, do all things come to an end?
This is a great continuation to what I believe can be a wonderful series. I look forward to seeing how Lepore will develop the characters over time. -
The Witches of the Glass Castle:Uprising is the 2nd book in this series, and we meet up with Mia & Dino again when they have to flee their home. Mia has discovered that she was born with The Arx, a force field of such great power that every witch wants it.
This is a great sequel & it is lovely to meet our old friends again.
Gabriella Lepore has once again given us another wonderfully magical story, so full of twists & turns & keeps you guessing on exactly who Mia can really trust.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this & am so looking forward to reading more about these characters. -
Better than the first.
The second installment in this series shows growth in the writer. Like the first story it is more of a plot driven story with not as much focus on character development. There was a couple of times that I felt that the details given did not drive the story along, but they were short lived. I also felt that this was a very predictable, but the story flows so nicely that it is completely forgivable. I will be eagerly awaiting the next book in this series. -
Just as good.
I finished the first one and bought the second one straight after. I love these books. They are fast, easy and the magic system is to die for. I have become wildly addicted to these two books and i hope a third is coming soon. I am honest in this review but even though they didn't send me this and did nothing to decide my opinion, I would like to thank oftomes for everything and showing me these books. -
I loved the ending of this duology! I really do want to read more about Mia and Colt just because I loved them so much!
I loved Mia's blind faith in Colt, also wasn't a fan of those two cocky hunters, Colt should have like punched them in the face.
I loved all these characters and reading them again, I am so sad this duology was over but it was so amazing. I loved it. I loved her writing. -
Perfect sequel! There's something in these books that makes them feel cozy and puts a smile on my face. I don't know what it is but I love it. Every character in these books is special and they are going stay in my mind a long time.
If there just were more time, I would return to this world because I just simply love it! -
Another great read!!
After reading book 1, yesterday, I had to read book 2, today. Yes! It was that good. This book brings back all the characters you fell in love with and again, Mia's life is in danger. Back to the Glass Castle they go for protection. But sometimes the ones you trust are the ones to fear! -
this was a great sequel to book one. it had all the action i was waiting for plus twists and turns i wasn't expecting. the characters also were starting to grow and come into their own. couldn't put this book down, a definite page turner.
-
The magic continues! I really got involved with the characters in the first book and it was just great to meet up with them again. Loved it, thought it was absolutely superb, brilliant!
-
Review to come.
-
i need more of this in my life. this is so good! absolutely loved this book and the first one. everyone must read
-
Way better than the last one! When can I have the next book?!?!?
-
Magical
Truly amazing book. The suspense and mystery was captivating. The characters are witty and funny. I highly recommend this book. -
AMAZING BOOK ALERT! I usually don't like sequels as much as the first book, but this was just as awesome and had me hooked from the very start! Need to know if there's a third one!!!
-
Not a bad Tale
A little too much teen angst but I have a feeling this is it's market focus. Still not a bad afternoon read. -
really enjoyed this book, it's a shame it's only a dulogy, the ending was hopeful, quick read and I liked the characters too ^_^
