I loved this book. At first I was mad that it kept switching from Cinder’s perspective but I grew to love Scarlet’s story too. I hope to get more insight on Carswell in future books. It was a bit predictable like the first book in the series but that didn’t take away from its charm. Wish we would’ve gotten Iko a body finally. Excited for how the next book is gonna tie in another protagonist!

the whole omegaverse schtick really got on my nerves and the prose isn't all that good so it was a bit of a chore to read through. at least the first book had an interesting premise and strong characterization, while the characters in this installation felt corny and cliche. i did not buy the romance between scarlet and wolf, especially since every few chapters there was another layer to the betrayal onion. at least Thorne is here... whatever, here's hoping that cress is better.
