It was a great sequel. It wasn’t my favourite book in the series, but It was an enjoyable read! I loved the character development between Paz and Alano, and I adored their interactions to help each other! 

Some parts of the book felt like it dragged, and some parts felt unnecessary, but for the most part, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The way the book ended - I am speechless! I am so so excited for the next instalment!

I was a little devastated by this read. I really thought I'd get to explore the death-cast world, enjoy the science fiction element somewhat, see some kind of engagement with the world, but there is none. If you're looking for a romance, this may well be the book for you. But if you're interested in exploring the world, it's going to be one long let down. Keeping this spoiler free, there was a point where my love for one of the characters was really strained. Where he was able to be a perpetrator but instead of him showing remorse, it seemed that the other character displayed that far more. There was a real imbalance in the relationship which just put a dampener on a book I was doing my utmost to enjoy despite it not being the book I initially thought it was.
