This book...omg this book. I am in LOVE with this series.
I can't even begin to explain how much I fell in love. I have to say that this book is better than the first. Only because it has so much more information and it completely mind-fucked me and had me going "WHAT OH MY GOD" like every chapter.

This gif pretty much sums up my reaction every time something epic was explained or happened:



I just can't. The characters were so well done. Everything was explained so well. And I'm just so sad that it ended! The ending legit just made me want to cry. It was such a good ending. And I just can't.



I absolutely love Kelsea, the main protagonist. Absolutely LOVED.
She had her moment where she started to get too out of control with the powers, but at the end it was fine. It all matched up perfectly. TALK ABOUT GIRL POWER.



If you like books where the girls are strong-willed, kind, but also not too kind, and she has freaking POWER like no other. As well as people who back her up and really care about her. And even kids who do their own part in all this. Then THIS IS THE BOOK SERIES FOR YOU. I CANT WAIT FOR BOOK 3. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND 5 OUT OF 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really liked this sequel. It took a different approach then the first one and I loved it. The character arcs were phenomenal, and I really felt for all of the characters(even the ones I didn't want to). I enjoyed the romance build ups and I have a better understanding of everyone's motivations. I can't wait to pick up the third one.

Even better than the first. More magic, more action, more love, and such an interesting commentary on society/humans/socialism/history.
