A really fun read and the rare step up from the first in the series, in my opinion. I think that we get some much needed insight into the main characters and they are developed emotionally in interesting ways. The broader mystery I think is a weak point. Ophelia at times feels too much on the periphery of things, but we get some hints in this book, particularly at the end, as to how critical Ophelia is to the plot. I am intrigued to read more and see how the story develops from where things left off here.

This book was full of plot twists and turned into a pretty exciting mystery. The threads that were sown in A winter’s promise started to slowly unravel and I can’t wait to see how the rest of the series resolves. I’m not a big fan of political intrigue but the first book interested me, I also loved the writing. While I didn’t like the way Ophelia was manipulated in the first book, I got to say that in the second book she makes a strong stand and I grew to like her a lot. 
So yeah, I’m not the best with words but I liked this book and I’m definitely going to read the next :)
