dark medium-paced

I liked this book so much better than King of Battle and Blood. There was an actual plot to this and a cliff hanger that will ensure that I'll definitely be reading book three. That being said, this still wasn't amazing. Most of the story felt rushed, like St. Clair just slapped whatever she had on the page so she could get the book out. I'm hoping book three will feel less rushed.

Not a bad sequel, some of my question were answered but not all of them. 

The book started off slow but picked up towards the end. So much was happening at the end, that a lot of the events should’ve been spread out to make the book flow better. 

Tbh this should’ve been the last book but it ends on a cliff hanger. Go figure.

To be honest I found myself confused a lot, especially at the ending. I also wish the beginning gave more context back to the first book because I had forgotten a lot of details which also left me confused. Some of the plot points felt rushed.

I do like though that this book has a different feel than some others of the genre. I am actively routing against all the characters, which is fun!

DID NOT FINISH: 28%

The first one was interesting, this second one just focuses on the protagonist and she is still too naive

WOW. Just wow. This books was everything and more! The backstories and the traumas and trying to fit into everyone’s shoes to see their pov, man it is devastating.
They way Adrian and Isolde got into their arguments…it was so well written and put across that it felt real
