This was a good sequel, and one that has a bit of everything: action, intrigue, found family, secrets, supernatural beings, and a middle-aged MC.

Review: The Awakening of Marcianna (Thief of Destiny #1) by Isabelle Markus
This was a very interesting coming to power story, in that the main character is middle-aged and has built a family prior to gaining her abilities.
