I really enjoyed Flame in the Mist, so I was very excited to read the sequel. I had a hard time getting into this book, as it has a very slow start. Once I got into it, I enjoyed it, although the story was not as compelling as the first book.
I was disappointed in the ending, it felt like it was rushed. So much of the book just seemed to crawl by, and then all of a sudden the book was over. It felt a little unfinished/unresolved.

The ending was a bit of a miss for me but there were so many positives in this book!
First of all I looooved Raiden’s character. I never thought I would grow to appreciate the guy who made us suffer so much in the beginning 😤😤.
Mariko was also even more awesome in this book and I wish we had gotten more chapters from her perspective 😞😞
I liked the first book more but I still really appreciated this one!
