In this gripping sequel, Gabrielle stumbles into revolutionary France with more questions than answers. Why did Alexandra chose her for this adventure? What did the mysterious old woman mean by "it's all up to you"? And why was she seeing monsters no one else could see? In search of these answers, Gabrielle finds herself in the middle of a much bigger battle than she could have ever imagined. Can a nineteen year old old take on the past and un-seen evil all on her own?

Curiosity and the Hounds of Arawan continues the story of Gabrielle, a girl who has been burdened with the enormous task of living out the tales of souls long-dead. I was getting some serious Doctor Who vibes throughout this book and that made me so happy. If you're a fan of paranormal, time-travel adventures, I'd suggest checking this series out!

As with the first book, I found Gabrielle to be a delightful and engaging character. And I really appreciated the growth I saw in her - particularly toward the end of this book. I would have liked to learn more about some of the other characters, like Morrigan. But, hopefully they will feature a little more heavily in the next book. 

The first half of this book dragged a little for me. I enjoyed being able to explore the world and immerse myself in Revolutionary France, but I found myself getting impatient. I would have liked it if the story picked up a little sooner than it did. 

Despite a few issues, I found this book to be a great read. And that ending...it hit me a lot harder than I would have expected it to. Anyway, I'm so glad I continued on with this series. I can't wait to see what adventures Gabrielle goes on next!
