I was hesitant to read the sequel knowing that Harper wouldn’t be the main focal point, but the other characters are so compelling and well done that I found myself missing them when we moved away from their point of views. That being said, sometimes Lia Mara got a bit grating, and the plot really slowed down compared to the other books.

I adored Grey in book one, and enjoyed seeing him in the leading role for this installment. I typically dislike series where the main characters from the first book disappear, but it worked well here. Sadly, the romance fell completely flat. While I liked both individuals, there was little chemistry as a couple. Despite the failed romance...I liked all the new characters, and feel quite excited about the finale.

Almost DNF it but since I spent my money on it might as well read it.
I love the first book so much cause it was different. Harper is such amazing lead character and Rhen too. And a sudden shift between all 3 original character was a kick in a gut for me.
To me Lia Mara is a mirror of Grey which lead me to confusing the narrator.
I’m not sure if I want to continue reading the third book. I love Rhen and Harper in the first book and it should have been a standalone. But in the second book is like urghhhhhhhhhhh...
I dont like the instant-love between Grey and Lia Mara. I find myself cringing every single romantic scene they have.
Also, making Rhen become a villain so that Grey seem a better male lead was reminded me a lot of Tamlin from ACOTAR.

I guess the story is nice but it just took the previous characters and relationships and just tossed em out
Like the whole arc from the main character in the first book is wrapped up and now she has a boyfriend and so she has no perspective, involvement in the plot, or like really personality.
If you aren't attached to the previous characters it's a really fun story

It took me a while to finish this book. It didn't take me away like the first and I did not like the ending. Not sure if I would read the next book. It took me 3 months to get trough this one ..

A part of me right now is in shock and the other part is wondering how I finished this book so quickly. Probably because I was too engrossed to put it down. When I first read the first book, I thought it was another Beauty and the Beast retelling. But the trilogy has manifested into something so much more. This was such an amazing read. Though, not as good as the first book. I feel like this was more of a transition book to the third where a lot more will be at risk. I really did wish that I got to see more of Harper's and Rhen's POV since there was a lot going over in Emberfall, too. I also really wanted to know what Rhen was thinking because the whole time while I was reading this book, I disliked him.
But boyyyyyyy did the epilogue kill me. I'm just going to leave it there and not spoil anything else. I heard that the third book is coming in 2021 which is a very long time away. I need to know what happens next!
Also, I am so glad that there were no love triangle in this book. The love triangle between Rhen, Harper, and Grey in the first book just made my heart hurt. I love Rhen but I also love Grey and I want the best for Harper. I just want 2020 to be over with so I can read the third book.
