This book was sent to me by Titan Books in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book. There I said it. I loved it. I preferred it to the first book, even though I really enjoyed the first book too but this was just different. The first book was a little confusing for me, trying to learn about the world etc so it took me a while to get into it and really throw myself into the world. With this book, there was no problem with jumping straight in and enjoying every second from the minute I turned to the first page. It was exciting, it was interesting, it was eventful (to an extent) and honestly, the characters made it 100000x better.

Some pacing was slow, the ending has me needing to start the next one ASAP. 

I loved seeing more of Rhy and Kell’s relationship and the trauma they are battling after book 1.

Nothing really happened to move the plot along until about 60% of the way through, and yet I didn't care? It was strange because usually that really bothers me. And the last 40% was very exciting, especially the brutal cliffhanger! I am so anxious to read book three now!
