My rating: 3.5 stars
This was an intense sequel to "Guardians of Talons and Snares". As I'm quickly discovering with Anastasis Blythe's books, she likes to keep a quick pace in her books and this one is no exception. Because of that my attention was kept throughout most of the book.
One of the things I most enjoyed about this book was the character growth of our two main characters, Aranya and Kai. Aranya learns, after some more failures, to not always give into her impulses and to trust Kai. Kai, after almost loosing the people he cares about, finally opens up and shares with Aranya.
I will say, I still don't absolutely love their romance, but I do have hope for them because of that cute epilogue.
I'm officially hooked on Anastasis Blythe's books!!

While I’m not sure the adrenaline rush is good for anxiety, Anastasis once again delivered an incredible book!
It’s fast-paced, action packed, and has a sweet touch of found family.
Picking up from the previous book, Kai and Aranya *finally* (in the end) talked about their true feelings instead of hiding behind teasing & pranks & what have you. If you want slow burn, this is it.

I loved this follow up to Guardian! It picks right up where the last book left off and doesn’t slow it’s pace till the very end! I simply could not put the book down until I had finished it all! ☺️
This book perfectly wraps up the story arc for Aranya and Kai while leaving the stage primed for the next cast of characters. I have very much looking forward to Meiling and Shang’s story.

Kai and Aranya’s story picks up right where we left off in a guardian of Talons and snares. We follow our heroes on their journey to fine the missing wilders. Will they also find each other on this journey? This story wraps up with the best happy ending that will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside!
