I loved this book so much that I cannot believe it. It wasn't as great as the first book but still got 4.75 stars out of me, almost 5.
At times it felt slow, so be prepared to have to push through it, but it's worth it. As a little critique, it doesn't have the stronger plot of all times, since most of the time we spent with a problem that doesn't seem to be solved. And when we aren't talking and not doing anything about that problem, we spent it on "flashbacks" that had nothing to do directly with the story. That was annoying.
I loved how we got to see other characters' stories, and I want to hug Ewen so much, and I need more of Hall. I didn't love Kelsea as much as in the first book, she was kind of annoying throughout the entire book. And I love Penn. I love him, and Maze. But I have a bad feeling.
Basically, I loved every character!
It's heavily character-based, so don't expect the best magic system or plot. It's all about the characters.
Also, there was a twist at the end that... I didn't see it coming. That was expecting and I don't have a clue about how this is going to go from now on. No clue.
FINALLY, THERE IS A BUNCH OF TW! LOOK IT UP BEFORE READING! There are a lot of mess-up things, and I am not sure if all of that was necessary or just for shock effect, I hope that in the next book we can see the characters healing and making progress after all of this.

I still like Kelsea and her story though, but I found myself waiting for the Lily bits. It's a good book overall and I'm excited to read the third one in the trilogy.
