Overall this book is way better than the 1st in character development and trying to make us sympathetic towards the mc, but Laurent I didn't forget nor forgive what you did 😀😀😀
When he's mean to me, but he's mean   TO ME😍

I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH. Damen and Laurent stole my heart so fast. I love them as characters but I also adore how they compliment each other. They have a very fragile balance that is weakened by their relationship as master/slave, and by the fact that Damen hides his true identity, but at the same time it is reinforced by the obvious care they have for one another and the building trust between them. Their relationship is so interesting and compelling. 
Im obsessed. 
The war building up and exploding in the end was something I really liked and, obviously, it serves as a good cliffhanger for the next book. The latest revelation about the regent and Kastor were, not THAT unexpected but still shocking. 
I liked everything about this book, it was a great read, and Im dying to read the next one. 
(also Laurent's cleverness is something I will never get tired to read).
