Loved this book! The characters are well developed, the plot is great and it leaves you hanging at the end. Wild is the lead female protagonist and boy does she have attitude.
I love Wild and how unapologetically tough she is. She is a fierce and loyal friend. She does not cower or take a back seat when trouble heads her way. No, she faces it head on.
This book is the second in the series and picks up where the first one left off. So I highly recommend that you read the first book in the series before this one.
I love the Rory is back in Wilds life, I am glad she let him have it when she found out he had lied to her, even if he had a great explanation for doing so.
If you loved Harry Potter and the Hunger games you will love this book and series as well. This is full of action, has vampires, unicorns, Trolls and goblins in it.
The story will suck you in and before you know it you will be turning the last page and thinking No! Don't leave me hanging here.

So I kept thinking I was missing part of the story here, and it turns out I was. I read this prior to reading book 1. I give this book three stars for imagination and creativity but nothing about it got me vested. I read it from a distance. So I won't bother reading more.

I guess gender is a hard secret
Oh this book was fun! The characters sped through a couple trials and had some amazing experiences - like riding alicorns! I know Wild is making an impression on everyone, but I feel like she's making allies all over the place. I do not trust Rory.

The writing is significantly better than the previous one. Other than that, I don't remember any noteworthy events taking place. Colt was a nice addition, but he just seemed a piece to add to her story, not a human being. I mean, all characters seemed kinda flat in this series, but he's extra flat? One reason for this is maybe Wild is a narcissist and doesn't notice/care about other people. In the first book, she was so annoying! She was constantly giving people nicknames in her mind, like Wally, Freckles, Wonder Bread, Sideburn- It was getting annoying tbh. However, this book managed to improve her character building along with the writing style. Yaay.

4.5 rounded up
Fantastic continuation of The Culling Trials. Wild is learning step by step, and surviving the terrors the academy throws at her, with the help of her make shift and mismatched crew. We get two full trials this time around instead of just one, offering more clues and glimpses into the houses these trials represent - and just what they might mean for Wild.
Pros:
- Character development
- Fast paced!
- Great team.
Cons:
- This is a trilogy?? HOW are they going to solve everything in just one more book?? What about the school? Is there going to be another series?
