I thought this book moved a little faster than the first in the series, which is fine, but I definitely would have liked for there to be more tense moments with Bones as the villain - I'm hoping there will be more moments in the upcoming books.
As for our main lady, Laurel - I love a lady who fights. She was ready to go from moment one, and I respect that energy. She was perfect for Thorne's prickly ass, pun intended.
I'm looking forward to reading about the other Guardians and learning more about this impending war between humans and fae.

This series is pretty addicting, I'm loving the world building most of all. You can't really go wrong with a fated mates trope in my opinion, although some pairings work more than others; I much prefered Clarke and Rush from the previous book.
I found the romance and overall relationship between Laurel and Thorne to be lacking, their chemistry not up to par with what you would expect from two Well-blessed mates. There was a real unbalance between the Jasper rescue plot and their relationship on page.
I took me a while to warm up to both main characters, Thorne acted like a surly idiot for much too long and Laurel was aggravating rushing into danger without thinking.
Much like the first book in the series I would have liked to see the heroine being taught about the customs of this new found world and era, learn more about her magic abilities, I felt robbed of her reactions to those discoveries. This part was glossed over and presented as if the heroine had it all figured out intuitively.
I'm very much a nitpicking reader, even more so when I find something I like. It's a cursed habit!
I didn't hate it, I didn't love it but still enjoyed myself enough that I'm looking forward to the next pairing: Ada and Jasper

Kuturis sound so pretty!! "With the head of an eagle and the body of a fox, the white feathered and furred breed was mostly docile ... As long as sugar treats were involved, a perfect alternative for traveling long distances."
